Airborne at the Bridge: three perspectives, then closure for renovation

On the Rijnkade, a free presentation tells the story of the battle around the bridge through British, German and Dutch servicemen and the view of the site.

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.
