An object in context
Everyday objects can show a different side of war from military equipment. Read which person, action or situation the explanation accompanying an object describes.
Different subjects
The war in Europe and the Dutch East Indies each have their own context. Take time during your visit for the transition between these subjects and follow the explanations at the individual displays.
Discussing a guided tour
An appointment allows you to agree the available guidance and duration in advance. Ask what the guided tour includes, especially if you are coming with children or with a specific research question.
Before you go
Confirm your visit to Doctor van Kesselstraat and ask about accessibility. There is no open weekly schedule; a digital tour is no substitute for a confirmed in-person appointment.
