Informative experience with lots of displays ranging from many topics related to world war 2 and the Netherlands. Almost every display is interactive with lots of memorabilia from the time, there is even the ability to listen to the displays in whatever language you choose. Staff was also very nice at the entrance
A really informative and interesting museum about WW2, the resistance and colonialism. I liked the focus on individuals’ stories. All available in English, very high tech and interactive (I believe it’s just been renovated). Would highly recommend, I’d say give yourself at least 2 hours to get the most of the experience.
We did not have this on our list of places to see, but I recommend everyone go there. We all really absorbed the information and our girls (10 and 11) really learned a lot. The conversation we had during and afterwards was insightful and reflective. The museum does a fantastic job with a junior area, our girls worked through the workbooks and followed the 4 lives of kids during that time. We all learned tons. Recommend giving yourself about 1.5 hours to cover it all.
Wonderful and thought provoking museum. There are self guided audiotours and texts in both English and Dutch. The museum design makes you feel like you are secretively observing many things, though small windows and clever displays. You could quickly peruse, but this is definitely a visit that benefits from reading all the plaques. 1.5 hours was not enough time, would recommend planning about 3 hours to visit.
A really nice museum, I wasn't expecting to have so much to learn. I read somewhere you could easily visit it in 2 hours but I'd say something between 3/4 hours is the ideal. We couldn't see everything as much as we'd like because of it. It has a lot of interactive points. Can only recommend it!
