Displays on war and independence outside Europe broaden the national frame. Compare timelines and power relations without treating these territories as an appendix.

Verzetsmuseum Junior makes history accessible to children with characters and rooms. Afterwards, adults accompanying them can discuss which parts are documented and which have been reconstructed for teaching purposes.
