Eden Camp Modern History Theme Museum

Eden Camp is a museum devoted to the subject of World War II, the second largest in Great Britain. He's in the former Malton prisoner of war camp. Eden Camp was opened to the public in 1987 and is the world's first Museum of Modern History.

The Eden Camp prison camp has 33 barracks where prisoners were detained, and the last of them left Malton in 1949. From then on, the building performed various functions, including used as a place of agritourism camps. The situation changed only when Stan Johnson bought the area in 1985 and soon after that he decided to build a museum in this place. Today we can visit the well-prepared, numerous award-winning museum full of interesting stories and unusual exhibits such as the reproduction of the Nazi V-1 flying bomb or Sleeping Beauty - a British motorized submersible kayak.
