Eden Camp Modern History Theme Museum is a large Second World War-related museum near Malton in North Yorkshire in England.

It occupies a former Second World War prisoner-of-war camp of 33 huts. After the prisoners left, the camp was used for storage and then abandoned. Its grounds then became overgrown. As the museum was being set up, much clearing, as well as repair and renovation of the buildings, was required.

One of its buildings contains three human torpedoes and a "Sleeping Beauty" Motorised Submersible Canoe.

The museum also has a reproduction V1.
