Named the “Best Historical Museum in the Netherlands,” the Dutch Resistance Museum offers guided tours of the exhibits, as well as tours of neighborhood monuments commemorating the resistance. A dedicated junior museum puts the German occupation into context for younger visitors, with stories of four Dutch children during the war.

The exhibit placards are in both Dutch and English, and audio guides are available in several additional languages.
The museum is accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.
Located in Amsterdam’s Plantage neighborhood, just opposite the ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo, the Resistance Museum is about a 10-minute walk from Waterlooplein square. Or, from Amsterdam Central Station, take tram 14 to the Artis stop, then walk the short distance to the museum.
Typically open every day except major Dutch holidays, the Resistance Museum is usually busiest on weekends and weekday afternoons.
