Freedom Museum, World War II museum in Groesbeek, Netherlands.
The Freedom Museum sits in a modern building with a 12 meter high white dome structure that symbolizes a parachute near the German border. The exhibitions combine different media and show how people experienced this historical period.
The museum stands where the 82nd US Airborne Division landed during Operation Market Garden in September 1944, one of the largest airborne operations in military history. This landing was a turning point for the region's liberation.
The permanent collection shows different perspectives on World War II through personal stories, objects, and interactive displays about freedom, peace, and safety. Visitors find out how people lived during this time and kept their hopes alive.
The building is easy to access and offers quiet areas for exploring and reflecting on the content displayed. It is good to allow enough time for the interactive exhibitions to grasp the different perspectives fully.
The terrace grounds offer views of the exact landscape where Operation Market Garden actually took place. This allows visitors to connect historical events with today's surroundings and experience the geographic reality of these operations themselves.
Opening Hours: Monday-Saturday 10:00-17:00; Sunday 12:00-17:00
