Discover the former headquarters of the Duke of Wellington—the commander who defeated Napoleon. He stayed here on the nights of June 17 and 18, 1815, and it was within these walls that he penned his victory communiqué.
Spread across 14 rooms, the museum showcases authentic artefacts, weapons, and engravings that recount the events of the time and honour the soldiers and nations involved in the battle.
Nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won.
