Bunkermuseum Alkmaar: war history in the Hout

Museum Alkmaar ’40–’45, also known as the Bunkermuseum, is in a former communications bunker in the Alkmaarder Hout. Changing exhibitions cover the town during the war.

Plan your visit ↗

A place with a function

The bunker is more than a shell for the exhibition. Note the layout of the spaces and ask about its original use. That lets you connect the building to the information about Alkmaar in wartime.

A changing subject

Earlier presentations covered topics including the air war and people from wartime history. Check which subject is currently in focus. That way you know whether your visit will address a specific question or be mainly a first introduction.

Following a list of dates

The museum is not open every Sunday. Within the season it is mainly the second and fourth Sundays, supplemented by special days. The actual calendar therefore matters more than a general description such as weekend opening.

Before you go

Check the exact opening date and navigate to the bunker in the Alkmaarder Hout, not to a postal address.
