The journey as a question

See how the museum describes that escape and its purpose. Which circumstances are highlighted, and how is the rest of the story told? By following the main thread first, you can better place individual stories in context.

Room for differences

The word Engelandvaarders brings people together under one heading. As you look around, pay particular attention to the differences between the stories on display. Read carefully what belongs to an individual case and what the museum explains as broader context.

A visit to the Bosweg

The museum is usually open from Tuesday to Sunday. Booking online is recommended. Consult the current ticket information for prices and possible changes on public holidays; an older price listing is no guarantee of the amount on the day of your visit.

Before you go

Check current tickets and any public holiday closures. Monday is usually the closing day.
