Dutch Resistance Museum, National museum in Plantage, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Dutch Resistance Museum is an institution in Amsterdam dedicated to the period of German occupation from 1940 to 1945. It holds objects, photographs, and documents that reveal how citizens lived during those years, including accounts of resistance activities and the realities of occupied life.
The building was constructed in 1876 and originally served as a Jewish cultural center named after a Renaissance cartographer. It was transformed into a resistance museum in 1999 and has documented this period ever since.
The museum centers on how ordinary people made choices and lived together during the occupation years. Visitors encounter personal stories that show the human side of resistance beyond political movements.
The museum is located in the Plantage neighborhood near Artis Zoo and is accessible by public transportation. It helps to check opening times in advance and allow time for a thoughtful visit, as the content can be emotionally demanding.
A special section presents true wartime stories told from the perspective of four children who lived during the occupation. This viewpoint brings the period to life and shows how young people experienced and understood the situation.
