Vehicles, weapons and uniforms stand alongside identity documents, ration cards, newspapers and dioramas about war and occupation.

Plan your visit ↗

Heavy machinery outside

A T-34, cannons and howitzers show scale and mobility. Look at the barrel, track or gun carriage, and have specific deployment confirmed by the label.

Paper in everyday life

Forged identity documents and ration cards make control and scarcity concrete. Read who issued, altered and used the document before filling in the story yourself.

Diorama as reconstruction

A scene can make connections visible, but it combines selection and imagination. Look for which real objects and sources support the display.

Before you go

Always closed on Monday; Tuesday only during school holidays. Mobility scooters are not allowed, but a wheelchair, rollator and stairlift are mentioned.
