A town during the occupation
Photos, documents and objects place the emphasis on Lochem itself. Choose one street or resident and follow how a national war story is made local.
1 April 1945
The liberation forms a clear reference point in the presentation. Look at maps and military information together with civilian sources so as not to separate the operation from daily life.
Above the VVV
The location in the former town hall has no reliable fixed museum schedule. Visits take place by appointment or via registration with the VVV; the VVV's own opening hours do not automatically mean free museum access.
Before you go
Do not rely on older Tuesday-to-Saturday hours or the former address; contact the VVV at Markt 2 in advance.
