Militaire Geneeskundige Dienst: care in a military setting

The Historische Verzameling Militaire Geneeskundige Dienst (Military Medical Service collection) in Hilversum covers medical care within the armed forces. Equipment, uniforms, photographs and mission objects make up the described collection.

Plan your visit ↗

An aid with a task

Medical equipment calls for explanation of its function and circumstances. See how the presentation links an object with care on the battlefield or in a hospital, without reading it as current instructions for use.

Photographs and mission objects

The mission room and documentation offer a different way in than medical equipment alone. They can make visible the setting and the people behind a technical aid.

Visits by appointment

The collection is located at a barracks. Being reachable by phone on Wednesdays is a way to make contact, not confirmation that you can freely walk into the museum during those hours.

Before you go

Confirm the date, building and registration in advance. Bring valid ID for the barracks gate and ask about access along the full route.
