From predecessors to Natres
Uniforms, decorations and documents connect older volunteer bodies with the Korps Nationale Reserve. Follow a single uniform through the presentation and note changes in task, rank and insignia.
Colours as a group’s memory
Colours and emblems show how a unit presents itself. Look at names, symbols and years, but treat the explanation next to the object as the starting point for the precise meaning.
A collection at a barracks
The display is located on military grounds on Otterloseweg. That means the visit already begins at the entrance gate: valid identification is required, and simply walking in is not possible.
Before you go
In 2026, the collection is only open from 29 April up to and including 24 October, on Wednesday and Saturday; bring identification.
