De Bewogen Jaren: war from several perspectives

Museum De Bewogen Jaren 1939–1950 in Hooge Mierde covers the Second World War in Europe and Asia and the decolonisation of the Dutch East Indies. Military and civilian objects offer different ways into these subjects.

Plan your visit ↗

A route with explanations

A guidebook supports your walk past the display cases. Use it to follow which subject or perspective belongs to a display, so that individual objects keep their context.

Civilians and soldiers

The collection covers different kinds of experience. See how the presentation explains the relationship between everyday life and military events, without letting a single object carry the whole story.

Visiting with children

Photo trails are mentioned as an option. Ask in advance whether the programme suits the ages of your group and how much guidance is available on sensitive subjects.

Before you go

Winter schedules differ between visitor listings; confirm opening before you set off. Groups and other times are by appointment; also ask about the facilities outside the museum building.
