The story behind an object
The collection focuses on Apeldoorn and the Veluwe. Many objects have been donated; their meaning is tied to what is known about their origin and use. That makes it worthwhile to ask about that background during a visit.
Different sides of war
Mobilisation, occupation, persecution and resistance are among the subjects. They are different ways into the same momentous period. When looking, allow room for the differences between a military object and material that touches civilian life.
An appointment in Beekbergen
The museum space is on the Dorpstraat. Older mentions of fixed summer Saturdays no longer offer any certainty. Get in touch to arrange a visiting time; for a school group, also discuss the group size and the length of the programme.
Before you go
Arrange a time in advance via the museum’s contact details; do not rely on old seasonal hours.
