Ambulance- en Eerste Hulpmuseum: a collection without a place to visit

The Nationaal Ambulance- en Eerste Hulpmuseum currently has no public venue in Leiden. After its accommodation came to an end, the collection was divided up and partly placed in storage.

Plan your visit ↗

A specialised subject

The former collection focused on ambulance care and first aid. Vehicles and other material made that subject visible. This museum description refers to the history of the collection, not to a current exhibition on the Vondellaan.

Storing is not exhibiting

Parts have been housed elsewhere, but the storage locations mentioned in The Hague and Apeldoorn are not open to the public. The fact that a vehicle has been preserved therefore does not mean you can visit it there.

Old Wednesday hours no longer apply

Earlier information about regular Wednesday opening days in Leiden is out of date. No new general visiting schedule has been confirmed. If you are looking for a specific vehicle or document, contact the current collection organisation instead of travelling to the old address.

Before you go

No museum visit is possible at the former Leiden location or at the storage addresses mentioned.
