Expositie 40-45: current visiting options uncertain

Expositie 40-45 in Blitterswijck is known as a private collection about the Second World War. There are conflicting reports about its current public status; a visit must first be confirmed directly.

What the presentation describes

Older descriptions mention dioramas, uniforms and personal belongings. Various wartime subjects were depicted in them. That says something about the earlier set-up, but is no guarantee that the collection is still accessible in the same way.

Scene and history

If a viewing proves possible, it is worth looking at reconstructed scenes alongside the explanations. A diorama represents something; it is not an original record of an event.

Call first

Some reports mention closure, others visits by appointment. So do not go to the farm on the basis of old contact details alone. Call and ask whether a museum visit is still possible, on which date and under what conditions.

Discuss the current accessibility of the collection before you plan a guided tour.

Before you go

Visiting status uncertain. Call 0478-589114 and travel only after specific confirmation.
