Nationaal Militair Museum on a former air base

Aircraft, vehicles, weapons and personal stories are displayed in a large museum building on the site of Vliegbasis Soesterberg (Soesterberg Air Base).

Plan your visit ↗

Aviation at full scale

The high hall makes it possible to compare aircraft. Note function, period and dimensions and use the technical labels so as not to confuse appearance with performance.

Vehicle and crew

Land equipment gains meaning through the people who operated and maintained it. For one vehicle, look for crew size, role and a personal story.

The air base beyond the hall

The location adds runways and a military landscape to the collection. Events can temporarily change parts of it without the whole museum closing; read current announcements carefully.

Before you go

Tuesday–Sunday 10.00–17.00; Monday open only during the official school holidays of all regions. The building is wheelchair accessible.
