Eden Camp Modern History Museum
Eden Camp
An immersive museum set in a former Second World War prisoner-of-war camp, recreating life on the home front and at the front line.
Eden Camp was once a camp for Italian and German prisoners of war during the Second World War. Today, 29 of its huts have been converted into themed galleries that use sound, light and set design to recreate the London Blitz, wartime rationing, front-line trenches and life as a prisoner. The displays also extend to the First World War and later conflicts. The exhibits are lively and engaging, making the museum well suited to families and history enthusiasts. Tickets cost about £17. It's open year-round, but closes around Christmas. Allow about three hours for your visit. Eden Camp is on the outskirts of Malton, about 35 km from Scarborough.
