A fantastic museum, judging by previous reviews it seems they have listened, in areas. Prices now 5 Euro a person, very reasonable for the experience you get and doesnt reflect some older reviews about high cost.
One area not publisised well is the timings and opening hours. The tour itself is run 3 times daily 0930,1030 and 1130 and lasts around an hour. It's an interactive guided tour and so isnt a place you can just turn up to outside of these times. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly.

A great museum to visit if you have time, and want to combine with visiting the Monte...

Regardless the festival, the Historiale is a small museum about WWII, unfortunately it is too small, Cassino has been a pivotal point for allies in WWII and has seen one of the bloodiest battles in the war, but unfortunately to see a great museum about WWII in the Lazio region, that has even a part dedicated to Cassino, you have to go to Anzio. It is a pity that this city hasn't got a proper space not to forget what happened there. This museum have few uniforms, few military vehicles and reperts. Visit from 30' to...
