Military tradition from Waterloo to peacekeeping mission

In Driebergen, a volunteer-run museum brings together uniforms, weapons, decorations and models from Dutch armed forces traditions since 1815.

Plan your visit ↗

Uniform changes with the task

Compare two uniforms from different periods for cut, rank insignia and equipment. Read the captions carefully so as not to confuse ceremonial use with operational clothing.

Waterloo in miniature

A model of Waterloo sets out troop movements and terrain clearly. Use it as a spatial model, then check which parts of the story are supported by original objects.

Documentation alongside the display cases

The library and documentation centre add depth to the collection on display, while temporary exhibitions focus on a subject such as the Netherlands in the Second World War. Ask what is accessible during your visit.

Before you go

Open on Wednesday and Saturday; volunteer staffing can vary, so call the number given if the door stays closed.
