What's not to like! Had an amazing weekend, Attending 70th Anniversay of Battle of Arnhem. Enjoyed learning the History.
We have visited this many times over the years and seen it grow. It humbles me and is so well presented! It is excellent value for money and truly worth a visit
very easy to find, excellent displays and very friendly staff! eager to tell you all the local history of where everything was found and/or dug up !excellent value for money - well worth a revisit !
This visit occurred the week of the anniversary of this costly Allied attempt to retake the bridge at Arnhem. The gratitude and reverence shown by the Dutch people to the memory and remains of the valiant men is awe inspiring.The uniforms, especially the British paratrooper berets and insignias was very emotional to me. My father served and jumped in the paratroopers but not at Arnhem. Stories he told just flooded back to me.
Very informative, plenty of exhibits, beautiful grounds. Easy to spend a good few hours here. Staff helpful - the Experience in bottom of the building good.
I agree with the review by Mstone7 - the museum to see is the one just to the north of Arnehm, in the woods. It's a very extensive private collection of artefacts, with sections on occupied Holland, the battle of Arnhem and its liberation. The staff (all volunteers) are very friendly and knowledgeable. The bit about 'children of the liberation' was particularly interesting and moving. Go and enjoy this gem of a museum.
Well laid out some interesting facts and information about the battle at Arnhem ,from the initial landing by towed gliders and paratroopers in and around the surrounding area
tells the story of a particularly horrible part of history well and un biased Nice location in a nice little town.
If you are interested on history, and the 2nd world war this is a must. And the museum is situated in a nice palace which was the headquarters of the allies during the battle of Arhnem, surrounded by a nice green area. Really worth a visit!
What a find ! We found the museum purely by chance when glancing through some leaflets in the tourist information in Arnhem. It's unlike the larger museums in the area, with no interactive displays. This is a museum that houses a great private collection of various artefacts including uniforms, guns and vehicles. If you have a real interest, then this is a great museum to visit. We spent nearly 3 hours taking in each of the exhibits with Tim our guide who was a great guy and knew his stuff!
