A permanent exhibition underground
Objects, documents and an audio guide tell the story of around 47,000 prisoners. Follow one person through several sources, and do not let the numbers crowd out individual experiences.
A guilty landscape
Outside, the place, the route and the sightlines are themselves part of the history. Take time for the transitions between reconstructed elements, preserved traces and present-day monuments.
A temporary story about the postwar purge
The exhibition Geen Plaats voor Verraders (No Place for Traitors) covers the postwar purge and Kamp Laan 1914. Read it as a separate, follow-on subject alongside the history of the concentration camp.
Before you go
Closed on Monday and on several commemoration and public holidays; public guided tours at weekends are included, but check the current day information.
