A frontline area between rivers
Maps and displays make clear why the region became known as 'The Island' after Market Garden. Start geographically: place Heteren, the Rhine and the Waal before reading individual stories.
More than two armies
The presentation names sixteen nationalities. Compare two uniforms or pieces of equipment and check from the caption which unit, role and origin have actually been established.
Personal remains of war
Objects belonging to servicemen and residents bring large operations back to individual experiences. Dioramas help with orientation, but are reconstructions; distinguish them from original objects.
Before you go
The museum is usually closed from November to February and has different hours around Market Garden and Liberation Day.
