Sovjet Ereveld Experience gives 865 graves a face

Next to the field of honour, the museum uses film, objects and virtual reality to make the stories of Soviet soldiers in the Netherlands personal.

From number to name

865 Soviet soldiers are buried at the field of honour. Choose one name and follow only the information the museum can demonstrably link to that person.

Vladimir Botenko in VR

The VR experience about Vladimir Botenko brings one individual story close. Afterwards, discuss which parts are documentary and which choices were needed to create an immersive narrative.

Inside and outside together

The museum rooms provide context; the field of honour calls for a different, quieter way of looking. The recommended minimum age is ten, because of the subject and presentation.

Before you go

Tuesday to Friday not until 13.00, weekends from 10.00; last entry 16.15 and closed on a few public holidays.
