Three military stories
John Grayburn, Viktor Gräbner and Jacob Groenewoud represent different positions in September 1944. Keep biography, unit and event carefully separate.
The bridge beyond the window
The view of the John Frost Bridge connects map and terrain. Compare the present-day river, quay and bridge with historical images, without assuming everything stayed unchanged.
New display in preparation
From 28 September the site closes for renewal. Reopening is expected around March and should bring more objects and stories from Arnhem's civilians.
Before you go
After 28 September, do not visit until the reopening has been confirmed by a primary source. The usual daily hours apply only when the site is open.
