Indeed wood!
Display cases were opend and items handled and often not put back!
I remember a very nice worked out pistol of Von Rundstedt laying there in one of the cabinets, never ever seen it again!

Nearly all Belgian musea have more in theyre reserves then they can display!
I was there in order to copy a fallschirmjägergewehr in resin, but never started the project, after finding out that Shoei all ready did.... in that same museum.

Sad news!
Museum visits had been free for as long as I know, but it is coming to a end.
You'll have to show €'s to get in, starting next year.
