As part of a family trip to Belgium, I made a detour to La Gleize village just to catch a glimpse of the King Tiger tank. The tank is placed casually on the roadside in front of the museum, and it’s a somewhat grateful yet almost wasted display. There’s a simple sign that says “Do not climb,” but touching or even licking seems to be free. Since it’s an open display, I took a photo of the top of the tank with my second daughter on my shoulders. It would have been better if I had brought a step ladder. While King Tigers are rare, with around 10 surviving worldwide, and there are better-preserved ones, this laid-back exhibit allows viewing from all directions under natural light, which is fantastic. It’s located in the countryside, making it difficult accessible if you don’t have a vehicle.
There are many photos taken in the gallery. https://1wishyouwerehere.com/en/2016_la_gleize_kingtiger/
