National Museum of the Resistance, World War II resistance museum in Anderlecht, Belgium.

The National Museum of Resistance exhibits military equipment, clandestine documents, uniforms, photographs, and telecommunications devices used during wartime operations in Belgium.

Established in 1972 within a former printing house at 14 Rue Van Lint, the building played a central role in producing resistance materials during Nazi occupation.

The museum presents collections from the Front de l'Indépendance network, featuring forged papers, underground newspapers, and camp memorabilia that document resistance activities.

Located near Brussels-Midi station, the museum offers wheelchair accessibility, adapted facilities for hearing impaired visitors, and specialized guided tours for educational groups.

The building housed the printing operations responsible for creating the Faux Soir in 1943, a significant counterfeit newspaper that undermined German propaganda.
