Really moving museum. It skillfully combines many personal accounts, and the dilemmas they faced, with a clear overview of the main events of the war and occupation. I was absorbed for over five hours, but you could do it faster if you want. The coffee in the cafe was lovely, not so much the cake.

very heavy on the heart. really accessible for everyone. the man at the front desk was sound. the cinema aspects were great, a good form of expression. I'd recommend giving yourself a lot of time to go through it- there's a lot to take in. don't bring your children if they aren't well behaved - there was a loud child who showed no respect...

This museum is brilliant. It's gives a really detailed account of what the Netherlands and its people faced in the WW2 but more interesting what resistance they gave. Audio guides were great, lots of videos, photos etc. We spent over 2 hours and could have spent more time. We especially liked the exhibits on the Dutch colonies and what happened during and after the war and the fight for independence. This is a must visit for anyone interested in WW2 history.

Really incredible museum experience. I 100% recommend. Do not miss out on this one if you’re interested in history specifically during WWII. Free audio guide detailing different perspectives of what it was like for the Dutch living through this time period. It kept my attention and interest throughout. Each room starts with a short video and the exhibits expand on that. They even had an area for kids, which I did not look at since I was solo. Purchase your tickets online so you can go straight to check in and not wait in the queue.

An immersive, interesting and engaging experience all round. The audio guide is a great way to bring the individual stories to life and to feel a connection with these stories and people. The museum has been carefully designed in a way that you feel you are transported back in time, with each room. Easily spent 2.5 hours here but could have spent longer! Interesting additional exhibit on Slavery as well, which was informative, interesting (yet also very sad). Well done to the curators and staff of this museum. If you are in Amsterdam, then this place is well worth a visit and your attention.
