Informazioni su
L'occupazione e la resistenza
Il Museo della Resistenza olandese è dedicato al movimento di resistenza dei Paesi Bassi durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Subito dopo il bombardamento di Rotterdam da parte dei tedeschi nel maggio 1940, gli olandesi si arresero e i nazisti presero il controllo delle strade del paese. La gente si trovò di fronte a una scelta: collaborare e fare esattamente quello che dicono i tedeschi, unirsi ai nazisti e aiutarli o unirsi al movimento di resistenza?
Questa domanda viene esplorata nel museo. Il Museo della Resistenza olandese aiuta a rievocare il clima degli anni della guerra mostrando le vite di persone che hanno fatto scelte diverse, con un focus principale sulla resistenza. Questa scelta, spesso estremamente pericolosa, ha reso le persone molto creative nel contrastare i nazisti e nell'aiutare gli ebrei e altri gruppi di persone a cui si dava la caccia.
L'Olanda nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale
La mostra permanente del museo riporta i visitatori agli anni '40, il periodo dell'occupazione tedesca durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Le sale e le pareti che compongono l'arredamento del Museo della Resistenza olandese sono piene di foto che aiutano a rievocare gli anni della guerra. Gran parte della collezione è costituita da manufatti raccolti tra gli effetti personali dei membri del movimento di resistenza.
La mostra copre tutte le forme di resistenza: scioperi, falsificazione di documenti, aiuto alla clandestinità, giornali clandestini, vie di fuga, resistenza armata e spionaggio. Potrai vedere passeggini con pistole nascoste, carte d'identità contraffatte, macchine da scrivere su cui venivano battuti messaggi in codice e scacchiere con scomparti nascosti.
Oltre a vedere i lati positivi e negativi della vita nella resistenza, vedrai anche com'era la vita quotidiana delle persone che avevano scelto di collaborare. Quali sono le limitazioni imposte dall'occupazione e perché alcuni di loro hanno deciso di unirsi alla resistenza? Un'altra parte importante del museo si concentra sull'impero coloniale olandese, le Indie Orientali Olandesi durante la guerra. La popolazione soffrì terribilmente sotto il regime di terrore giapponese.

Impedibile
Una scoperta, audioguida in italiano, visita che é durata circa due ore e mezza, molto interessante. Si dà erroneamente per scontato che l'occupazione tedesca in paesi come l'Olanda sia stata più 'leggera' e che non ci sia stata Resistenza, musei come questo contestualizzano, raccontano tante storie personali, insomma aiutano a comprendere la complessità della storia.
Si può fare di più!
Se sei ad Amsterdam per più di due giorni non puoi perdertelo. La visita dura circa 1h30. Audio guida in diverse lingue. Museo poco conosciuto e poco visitato (peccato!). Mi aspettavo qualcosa più incentrato sulla guerra più che sulla vita delle persone in quegli anni ma non mi ha deluso lo stesso! Facci un salto!
toccante
Credo che questo museo meriti molti più visitatori di quelli che ho trovato io. Ovviamente è un museo di nicchia, per appassionati di storia, richiede pazienza di ascolto e osservazione. Il risultato è una rappresentazione interessantissima e anche commovente della resistenza olandese, con testimonianze dei partigiani, stand interattivi che catapultano il visitatore nell'Olanda di 80 anni addietro. Lo consiglio caldamente
Merita maggior fama
Tanto per la ricostruzione del particolare fenomeno resistenziale olandese, che si coalizzò intorno alla casa reale Orange in esilio, che per l’ambigua gestione dell’impero coloniale da parte di un governo che fu oppressò in patria e oppressore fuori.
Molto commovente
Bellissimo museo, incentrato sulla resistenza degli olandesi durante l'invasione tedesca e sul dilemma che avevano i cittadini tra "collaborare, adattarsi o resistere". Prendete l'audioguida gratuita (c'è anche in italiano)
Informative and sobering
As a huge history buff this was a real treat. The museum is surprisingly comprehensive about World War II in the Netherlands in a way that is both informative and respectful. I was unexpectedly in a wheelchair this week and the museum is entirely accessible.
The best window into wartime Netherlands you’ll find in Amsterdam
I’ve been to a lot of WWII museums, and the Verzetsmuseum is one of the few that actually tells the whole story instead of just the dramatic parts. It walks you through the Netherlands before the occupation, the slow tightening of Nazi control, the choices ordinary Dutch people faced, and what life looked like once the war ended. That arc is what makes it land. You leave understanding not just what happened, but how it felt to live through it day by day. The exhibits are built around real decisions. Do you adapt, collaborate, or resist? The museum never lets you off easy, and it shows the full range of how people responded, including the uncomfortable middle ground most of us like to pretend didn’t exist. The personal stories, photographs, and original objects do the heavy lifting. No lectures, just lives. The layout is clear and the English translations are excellent throughout, so non-Dutch speakers miss nothing. Give yourself at least 90 minutes. It’s easy to reach by tram and sits right across from Artis, so it pairs well with a fuller day in the Plantage neighborhood.
Nu actueler dan ooit, helaas.
Een heel mooi, informatief en indringend museum. Vol verhalen die je aanzetten tot de vraag: wat zou ik doen? Nu actueler dan ooit helaas.
History of the horrors of war in the Netherlands.
A very poignant telling of the true horrors of World War II in a very well done and organized manner. May we never forget.
Outstanding history of life under occupation
This is a really excellent museum - the quality of the curation is far beyond what you might usually expect from a smaller museum like this. It’s a little outside the centre of the city so most visitors will need to make a bit of a detour to get here. But it’s well worth it. The museum tells the story of Amsterdam and the Netherlands during WW2. That’s to say the material suffering (hunger etc), the cruelty (murders, deportations, collective punishment etc meted out by the Nazi occupiers) and the heroism of some who bravely resisted the enemy. The exhbits bring the history alive really well, with a mixture of videos, original artefacts and many personal stories of real people. These personal stories contain just the right amount of detail, communicating in easily digestible snippets the human experiences that lie behind the wider conflict. The museum documents the moral dilemmas faced by so many Dutch citizens during the occupation. While a minority of Dutch openly sympathised with and acted as agents of the occupiers, many more made smaller compromises for a range of reasons. For every black and white case there were many more cases that were shades of grey. The museum asks us to ask ourselves: how would we have acted under similar circumstances? At what point does forced accommodation with the enemy shade over into collaboration? What happens when loyalty to family and friends comes into tension with loyalty to country? A visit to this museum is thought provoking and challenging. There are no easy answers to the questions it asks. You don't need to be a history enthusiast to visit, you just need an enquiring and open mind. Highly recommended.
An uncensored view into occupied holland.
The resistance museum gives a all around uncensored view into WW2 Holland. It is perfectly done with a perfect mix of personal stories and historic overviews. It is not an easy museum and everyone did it at a different pace. The museum is aware and allows for reentry for those who need a break.
Educatief en leuk
Één geweldige ervaring die je meeneemt naar het begin van de oorlog tot de bevrijding en neem even je tijd want er is veel te zien . Ook voor kids een speciale sectie om op hun niveau veel bij te leren . Audio tour in verschillende talen en airco in het gehele gebouw (was toen ik ging 34 graden buiten ) dus een enorme meevaller . Rechttegenover artis zoo en gemakkelijk te bereiken .
Great WWII museum
This museum is very well done and comprehensive. And in good taste. If you are in to WWII history this museum is a must. They have audio boxes for several languages, including English. Plan on a couple hours.
Must do for your vacation
This is a must-do for your trip. It was a really powerful and emotional exhibit. I learned a ton and I can’t recommend it enough.
Boeiend, afwisselend en interactief
Goed opgezet, interactief en afwisselend, audiotour werkt feilloos, educatief, in 2-2,5 uur kun je het hele museum aandachtig bekijken. Aandacht voor voormalige koloniën. De vele persoonlijke verhalen maken de expo boeiend.
Well worth it
Really fascinating place and I learned so much. Free audio guide with admittance and you can come in and out the entire day. (I went out and got lunch at one point) Took me 2.5 hours to go through the entire thing, but really enjoyed it. I learned so much about the circumstances of different Dutch people in resistance at all points in Nazi power.
Fascinating museum. Definitely worth a visit.
Great museum documenting the struggle of the Dutch people against the Nazis. The staff are really nice and welcoming. The audio tour was excellent and we were able to do it at our own pace so we could read all the stories. Very sad and we had to take a moment once we got outside just to sit and reflect. We have done lots of museums dedicated to WWII and the horrors of war especially on the Jews, Romani and other minorities but alas it never gets easier to see and read the stories, probably because the suffering of innocent people is still happening today all over the world. Lest We Forget.
Intense and immersive. Highly recommend for children and teens who are interested in History.
Best museum for learning about WW2. We and our kids (ages 8-15) were completely engaged with both the junior and regular exhibits. They have and extensive collection built on hundreds of primary sources and we spent two hours immersed in the photos and videos. The content provoked hours of intense discussions amongst our family.
Excellent.
Excellent museum and very well done. Important topic and we learned so much!
A Great gripping experience
We visited several museums in Amsterdam and the Verzetsmusum was our favourite by far. It's not to big or to crowded. The interactive displays are both interesting and informative and gives a gripping account of life in the Netherlands and its colonies during WWII
This museum is really well done
This museum is really well done. My grandfather was part of the resistance during WWII, so I wanted to understand what my family went through during that time. I was not disappointed. This museum is literally teeming with displays/films/audio of the heroes and the villains of this period of time. You can hear it in the language of your choice at your own pace. It is well worth the price of admission.
So glad we didn’t miss this.
The museum was incredibly powerful. We learned so much. Our only disappointment was that we did not allow enough time for our visit.
Excellent Museum to learn more about the Dutch Experience during WWII
My mother grew up in a town near Amsterdam during WWII, and the Germans occupied that area. I wanted to learn more about what my mother experienced, and what the people of The Netherlands did to fight against this occupation. I learned so much about the bravery of the people, but also the struggles and starvation. The process of going through the Museum is very well done, with films placed intermittently throughout. (A nice place to sit!) And the audio was so helpful. Highly recommend a visit to this museum.
Very worthwhile visit
Very worthwhile visit. Lots of information about Dutch experience in Second World War and under nazis. Learned a lot. Very well set out and engaging. Excellent audio guide.
Great Museum!
Really good history of the Dutch Resistance in WW2 and how WW2 impactedthe Dutch colonies around the world. Children's area was an eye-opening gem.
Excellent immersive experience
This is a brilliant museum, incredibly powerful and immersive. The personal stories coupled with historical account brought it to life in a way I wasn’t expecting. I would recommend this to anyone.
One of the best museums I have visited
This museum is very well run ,professional with lovely staff and a good range of books and other publications in English and Dutch . The stories and exhibits tell the individual stories of personal bravery and consideration and are inspiring and sad ,heart-breaking in different ways . The featured people put their lives at risk for their principles and values, freedom on a daily basis . This is an excellent museum and has an accompanying audio guide which can be activated on reaching the different displays . There is a locker room where you can leave your baggage which is free and excellent toilet facilities . The museum has air conditioning and is comfortable to walk around . Open 10.00-5.00 payment and purchases are by card only. The national Holocaust museum is just around the corner. I would recommend at least two hours + to visit
Personal Histories of the Dutch in WWII
The museum uses personal experiences to characterize the behavior of the Dutch under Nazi occupation. The curators try to capture the variety of response within what was for most Dutch a time of profound suffering without ignoring the Dutch who amplified the suffering of their fellow citizens. The use of personal experience is comparable to the Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom in Tallin, Estonia. Especially, poignionant and thought provoking is the exhibit on the Dutch treatment of Indonesians after WWII.
Outstanding museum
Outstanding museum. My daughters (9 and 11) said it was the best museum they’d ever visited. And the adults learnt lots about the Dutch resistance and experience too. My daughter reminds me that we talked about it all dinner time too.
Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing museum, we easily spent almost three hours there and we learned so much. There’s even a junior section to make the history more palatable for younger audiences. Excellent coverage of the Dutch colonies and the women’s movement in Iran
An easy and educational experience
A very exciting and, not least, reflective experience that gives food for thought in a turbulent time.
Resistance is a duty
Very well organized and presented. Compelling materials, opportunities to express your thoughts on a display wall with dozens of others. Included a temporary Iranian women’s exhibit. A must see
resistance museum amsterdam is worth a 2 hour visit
resistance museum amsterdam is worth a 2 hour visit; learn of WW 2 in Holland.
Een indrukwekkend gezinsuitje
Met onze kleinzoon van 14 bezochten wij dit museum. Het is een bijzonder persoonlijke aanpak, je leert de oorlog kennen via portretten van individuele mensen en hun rol n de oorlog. Voor alle leeftijden!!
Top quality musuem
A must see attraction. With the help of audio guides, you relive the story of Dutch resistance during WWII. Tastefully and professionally done. Mastercard cards accepted.
Very interesting & thought provoking
This is a very well presented museum with good audio option. Gives a great insight into what went on during the war.
Amazing and thought provoking.
Great admin for ticket booking and a friendly/helpful greeting on arrival. This museum is amazing. Information is broken down by chronology and into manageable chunks. There is the option of an excellent audio guide which is free of charge. Lovely to see the additional women's resistance exhibition which was very thought provoking. We were so engaged we hadn't realised 2 hours had passed. We went first thing in the morning and it wasn't too crowded.
Dutch Resistance Museum Tour
Absolutely amazing, very informative with audio descriptions and videos with sign language, easy to walk around and follow directions. Would definitely recommend.
Immersive, Heartbreaking, and Essential
An extraordinary and deeply moving museum experience. The Resistance Museum manages, with remarkable creativity and sensitivity, to recreate something of the atmosphere of life under occupation in the Netherlands — the fear, uncertainty, persecution, and daily moral dilemmas people faced. What impressed me most was how powerfully it brings to life not just the historical events, but the human stories behind them: ordinary people confronted with impossible choices, acts of courage, moments of despair, and the quiet resilience that helped so many endure. The way the material is presented is incredibly thoughtful and immersive. Rather than simply displaying facts, the museum draws you into the emotional reality of the time. You leave with a much deeper understanding of the struggles people went through, and with profound admiration for those who resisted in ways both large and small. I was truly, deeply impressed — this is one of the most powerful and beautifully curated museums I have ever visited.
Hidden gem
Lovely little museum hidden a bit out of the centre of the city, tells the story of the Netherlands through the war and the resistance to the occupiers not just in the country itself but also the colonies
Very informative and moving.
Excellent museum. Definitely worth a visit.
Musée très intéressant
Le musée de la résistance est un musée très intéressant et interactif qui retrace l'histoire de la résistance aux Pays-Bas durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Je recommande. Toutefois, il vaut mieux avoir 1h30/2h de temps libre pour le visiter car il y a beaucoup d'informations.
Thought provoking
This is a very well presented museum with films and descriptions of life during the war. My teenagers, who are both studying history, found it easy to access and thought provoking. The handheld audio guides helped as we walked round. It takes about 2 hours.
Well worth visit
Great insight into life of ordinary people in an occupied country as well as their resistance
Excellent interactive museum with great children’s exhibits
Excellent museum and not to be missed! Included interactive elements and short films. Fantastic children’s area that follows the lives of four children and includes a mini school room, shops, etc. Free lockers. An Amsterdam “must do” in my book!
Excellent - impactful experience!
This is a great museum that is so relevant with the world today. Highly educational for all ages. It's full of histories - allowing you to understand Amsterdam and how the past shaped this city/Europe. We went for 4 hours and was able to listen/watched/read the summary of each items on display; and wish we had at least 1 more hour to finish learning the Women's section of the museum. Highly recommend - an important history to know. We came from the US to visit the museum and it hits home (a parallel of the current affairs).
Informative and eye-opening. Worth taking the opportunity to visit and learn.
I used the I amsterdam card for entry. The museum delivers a detailed account of life for the people of the Netherlands during the occupation. Personal accounts and profiles are represented. The audio guide was faultless.
Definitely a museum to visit
The Resistance Museum is definitely one to visit when in Amsterdam. It works best when asking questions - after you view an exhibit it asks what you would do in similar circumstances. Well laid out informative and a possibly a key to understanding the Dutch way of thinking. Neither does it shy away from the awkward fact that many Dutch sided with the Nazi regime. Highly recommended
An absolute must for anyone wishing to understand how history could repeat itself.
An incredibly moving experience. Excellent story telling of the horror and heroism shown during the Second World War. The unexpected temporary exhibition of Woman life freedom moved me to tears and is a must an any self respecting woman to see. Highly recommend a visit and I would suggest a good 2-3 hours to really take in all the information contained within the exhibits.
A must see museum
Awesome place telling story of Dutch resistance and more, current exhibition of women for freedom an added bonus, an absolute must see at very reasonable price includes free audio tour equipment
