Artillery through time
Compare the barrel, carriage and aiming equipment of two periods. Ask what crew was needed and how mobility and accuracy changed.
More than cannons
Survey units, anti-tank, KNIL (the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army) and coastal and fortress artillery broaden the story. Use the dioramas to understand cooperation, not as literal photographic evidence.
Uniform and equipment
Clothing and personal items put technology in a human context. Note rank, protection and the way items were worn, and let labels confirm specific deployments.
Before you go
Identification is compulsory from the age of fourteen, and checking in at reception is part of access to the Legerplaats (army base). Groups must book in advance.
