Aaltense Museums

Very impressive and educational museum. Small set up with very nice staff. Also for small children

Beautifully preserved authentic house with a lot of information about WWII in the rear corner. Recommended!!

On September 10 we celebrated our family day. That day we also visited the hiding museum because it is closely connected to our family. Uncle Jan Wikkerink was the brother of our grandmother. The passion and drive with which the volunteers take you there in the stories is fantastic. It was that it was almost closing time after an hour and a half but the lady who showed us around could go on for hours. At times it was quite emotional especially for our parents who actually experienced it. It was a beautiful experience for all of us.

Nice little museum on the history of the Dutch underground at the time of National Socialism. Explains well what happened with the help of eyewitness reports and is also well prepared for children and young people. Really informative and entertaining.

Very very nice, very clean, good explanation by the ladies, they were also very friendly.

Very impressive museum in original house. It makes you quiet. Very well portrayed.

A nice, very informative museum with various themes, including the hiding museum, an old classroom and a city farm from the past.

What an experience! Very nice people who can tell you all kinds of things and definitely worth it. Made a big impression on us.

Um museu muito bom! Muita informação pode ser encontrada aqui e as informações também são muito detalhadas. Você recebe um tour de áudio com ele. O museu é pequeno, porque é uma casa. Mas é mais do que suficiente. A decoração também é muito boa. Muitos discos, figurinos, textos e vídeos também são reproduzidos. Os vários quartos são fornecidos como eram então. Vale a pena uma visita se você estiver na área. Muito educacional e informativo.

Beautiful Museum at the information desk you get a correct and clear explanation of how everything works. Everything is kept as clean as possible as I saw it. In short it was a very pleasant experience.

Had a very nice morning, with a very enthusiastic desk employee. And a beautiful storyteller. Greetings from Hazerswoude-Rijndijk

Really worth a nice museum lots of information

Very nicely set up, very impressive. Really worth it!

Beautiful museum with a story about the war.

Very impressive, beautifully set up.

Museu educacional maravilhoso. Ótimo bem organizado para crianças e adultos.

Que grande museu! Nossos filhos, 11 e 13 anos, gostaram especialmente da caça ao tesouro !!!! É um pequeno museu, mas no melhor sentido da palavra! Acolhedora e amigável bem -vindo por duas mulheres que puderam nos contar tudo sobre o museu!

Compact museum in historic Aalten. Let the impact of WWII be felt very clearly in the small community. Also pays attention to the lost crafts and industries.

There is much more to see than the impressive part about the hiding place. We found it particularly interesting. Really recommended.

Nice piece of history from WW2, good explanation and nicely decorated. Highly recommended for a rainy day..

Highly recommend. Information about going into hiding in the 2nd w.o. and the resistance. Furthermore, attention is paid to war propaganda, women in the resistance and much more. Good audio-visual support on the topics.

Interesting small-scale museum with fascinating stories. Definitely suitable for children (according to our 8 and 11 year old). We have been inside for about 1-1.5 hours and have been able to view and listen to everything in peace. It is run by committed volunteers and accepts the annual museum card. In addition to being able to literally walk through the building, where one story has taken place, you will be presented with a number of other stories via audio/visual support or letters.

Not big, but very beautiful. With stories from the region.

Impressive and interesting. This history must continue to be told. A history in which courage is the common thread.

Educational and interesting! Beautiful Museum with a story! Well worth it!

The Nationaal Onderduikmuseum is a medium-sized museum, centrally located in Aalten. It tells the story of the people in hiding in the Achterhoek. Different aspects of hiding are highlighted in different rooms of the building. The projection of images in a box bed is original. Especially the attic - right above the German commander's room... - is worth a visit. The quality of the videos is not the same everywhere and some captions leave something to be desired. The museum is not or barely accessible for wheelchair users and people with walking difficulties. It is an interesting museum for children. A visit to the museum can be combined with the nearby synagogue on certain days.

Very nice museum!!! Definitely worth it!

I was here many years ago with the Dutch course about 8 class. Was very intense then, would visit the museum again someday.

Very nice museum.the people who work there know a lot about it.shame.no coffee because of corona.helemaal coronaproof.worth it...top

Impressive, especially the stories written by the people who were children themselves at the time and how they experienced the war and going into hiding. It really puts you back on the ground and makes you realize how good we have it despite corona.

Nice museum with all kinds of personal stories of people in hiding. Every time I am amazed by the Dutch who, at the risk of their own lives, helped others go into hiding or ensured that they were not put to work in Germany.

Very nice museum that shows life during the Second World War in a small community like Aalten. The museum is located in a building that houses an original hiding place. Special is the secret door that is hidden behind a sink and that gives access to the attic. The old vaulted cellar that was used as an air raid shelter during the war can also be visited. The entrance to the museum is somewhat hidden. You get there by walking from the market square into a narrow alley towards the south. Free entrance with the museum annual card.

Impressive. Well worth a visit. Many personal stories. Quiet so there is a lot of time to really watch, listen and process. Has made more impression on me than the Anne Frank house.

We were allowed to take our wedding photos there, which was really great. Beautiful location and also very educational.

Very neat and well-documented and organized museum. Lots to see and read. Also accessible for the disabled. Well worth a visit

Arcevo full of details. With sad stories.

Absolutely worth seeing, you really get an impression of what it was like for the Jews and people in hiding back then. Nice that such pieces of history are preserved.

Nice, interesting and educational museum with a lot to see. I think this is one of the best war museums in the Netherlands.

Nice museum with lots of stories and things to think about...highly recommended! With also an escape room (we have to book)

I learned a lot from this moving museum. Most of it is wheelchair accessible and the elevator is easy to operate yourself, the only thing is that you have to hold the button until you are up or down. The coffee and tea are self-service and so is the price. I bought a book on the theme of 'resistance women'. But I also bought a book about the children of NSB members, which wants to reset the general view on this, because they too... today suffer from the choice made by their parents. It is a museum that has RESPECT as its trademark.

Very nice museum. We were here with 100 students. Nice guidance from the museum by the volunteers. Children and colleagues found it educational!

Very varied museum. Are you happy with an afternoon. However, thought it was only a hiding museum. They also show the peasant life of yore. A school class: very nice. An exhibition about horn and what was made of it; pipes a button. Furthermore, an exhibition about women in the resistance: super interesting. The volunteers from Commodities Museum were very helpful. A jug of fresh water was ready because a heat record was broken today. In short, recommended.

Beautiful museum, was there today for a meeting that made me short of time to see everything, will definitely be back.

Impressive. Certainly for my generation (1943). But also for the younger generation, that this should never happen again. As a man, I note that, apart from a few acquaintances, Anne Frank and Hannie Schaft are almost never mentioned in literature. Here justice is done to these resistance heroines !!! Chapeau. This museum in Aalten is more than worth a visit.

So much to see, the great thing is that the museum has incorporated everything very well into the theme, making it not a static museum. Combination with the escape room is recommended

Very well and beautifully set up small museum we have to think about this, that people sacrificed themselves for our freedom

Muito interessante, grande variedade, paciente, pessoal amigável útil

Eu estive aqui com uma classe de 26 crianças e todas elas se divertiram de maneira educacional. Foi uma experiência muito impressionante e aprendi muito sobre a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Muito humilhante ao ouvir as pessoas falarem sobre as crianças tendo que roubar carvão para manter suas famílias quentes, ou como as pessoas estavam escondendo outras pessoas à vista para salvá -las dos alemães (App. 1945). Há muito a ser aprendido aqui, sobre os direitos humanos básicos, por exemplo. Nunca devemos parar de lutar por direitos iguais, para tratar um ao outro melhor e usar palavras, em vez de armas.

Penetrating museum, in which it becomes clear once again that we owe our freedom (and many refugees their lives!) To the people who acted according to their conscience, not to those who conformed to the authority and the laws in force at that time.

Museum about the second world war and especially key about hiding and the resistance. Fascinating. In addition, changing exhibitions. Theme freedom. Since last year also an own escape room. In the style of the 40s. Fun to do!

The museum offers an impressive insight into the time of the Second World War. The bad times become tangible on the basis of personal fates. We can be glad that we can live together in peace for so long. In addition, the insight into the work of a hundred years ago shows how comfortable our current life has become with technical progress.
