You should come over here to Germany, they have one of the last fully functional Panther tanks. I believe there is on in England as well. By the way the best tank museum is in England.
The Bovingten Tank Museum has everything from the Tiger, Panther and King tiger.
Another good musuem is the German Panzer Museum in Munster Germany which also has a Tiger, Panther and King Tiger. Quote:

The Icing on the cake was as I was walking around these beasts and day dreaming there was some major heavy duty fire from one of the ranges echoing around these old beasts...
Art in DC | Sweet Cota, I went to the APG last summer, it was cool seeing all the tanks and AFVs, especially a Panzer IV in great shape.

Country:  | Hi 109. When you come to Europe, another good tank museum is the French one at Samuar. BTW, careful for directions to the R.A.C. Tank Museum; it's in Bovington, Dorset, England. However, you'd be surprised how many people turn up in the village of Bovingdon, Hertfordshire, England, looking for the museum! The latter, BTW, is where the airfield, now a prison, is located, where the movies, 'War Lover', '633 Squadron', 'Mosquito Squadron' and 'Hannover Street' were filmed. | |

Country: | Spent my third day out of the apartment due to the cooler weather. Really pushed myself the last few days and paying for it tonight, but it's all good. Yesterday went to the 100th annivsery at Union Station and saw some classic trains and today took a trip up the Maryland countryside and stopped and spent some time at Monocasy Battlefield.
Not a bad weekend at all for some one who's had to spend most of the summer inside.
