KNIL 1832–1950
Uniforms, documents and equipment can show a long colonial military history. Read the provenance, maker and context, and avoid regimental tradition as the only explanation.
Korea and the Cold War
The Nederlands Detachement Verenigde Naties and later threats call for different maps, equipment and stories. Compare purpose, terrain and organisation for each period.
Missions after 1990
The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan bring the timeline closer to the present. Ask which objects were officially collected, personally donated or reconstructed for education.
Before you go
No walk-in access on Thursdays: the site states research and regimental matters are by appointment only. Identification and the gate procedure are required.
