This is what our visitors say

This is a brilliant museum and would strongly recommend to anyone with an interest in history or modern Dutch culture. A difficult subject is handled by using the theme 'Adapt, Resist, or Collaborate?' Great historical materials, great telling of experiences through individual stories. Intended only to be in there for 30 minutes and spent all afternoon there! Easy access via tram - got the #9 from outside the central station. Read more
