True to reality
The Dutch Resistance Museum, known to locals as the Verzetsmuseum, details the history of the Dutch resistance in World War II during the country’s occupation by Germany from May 1940 to May 1945.
A decor of reconstructed streets and wall-filling color photos is combined with original objects and image and sound material. You can see how the atmosphere becomes increasingly grim during the occupation. Oppression and resistance, on the other hand, are increasingly noticeable.
Resistance
Helping people in hiding, the illegal press and forging papers is becoming a daily task for a small minority of the Dutch population. Their personal stories illustrate the dilemmas and choices they and others faced. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the Resistance Museum also has approximately five changing exhibitions every year.
Resistance Museum Junior
Since the end of 2013, a special part of the museum has been opened for children: Resistance Museum Junior. Here children follow the true experiences of four children from the war.
