Luchtoorlogmuseum Icarus et Mars in Assendelft focuses on crashed aircraft and their crews. Resistance and liberation in the Zaanstreek are also part of its subject.

Plan your visit ↗

Connecting remains and stories

An aircraft part may be technically interesting, but it also calls for background. Look at what information is known about the find site and the people linked to it. That way an object remains part of a historical story.

A regional perspective

The focus on the Zaanstreek makes it possible to link events to specific places. During a visit, ask which local sites feature in the display. The museum also describes restoration work and other activities around the collection.

Irregular opening

A fixed timetable has not been confirmed. Secondary listings mention the first Sunday of the month from May to October, but the museum’s own website gives no certainty about this. So ask directly whether a visit is possible on your date.

Before you go

Get in touch in advance; the first Sundays mentioned are not a confirmed museum timetable.
