Historische Collectie Verbindingsdienst: messages on the move

The Historische Collectie Verbindingsdienst in Amersfoort focuses on military communications. The presentation runs from optical and acoustic means, via telephone and radio, to data links.

A message calls for a system

Communication involves sending, receiving and the connection between the two. Use that connection to look at the equipment, and ask to have explained what role each part plays in the presentation.

More than technology

Uniforms and objects of tradition are mentioned alongside communication equipment. The Regiment Hall, with its regimental colour, offers a different angle, giving attention to organisation and identity.

A visit on military grounds

The collection is located in building C at the Bernhardkazerne. Registration is compulsory, even for the regular opening day; without access arranged in advance, you cannot assume a museum visit will be possible.

Before you go

Register in good time and bring valid identification. Group visits on other weekdays must be arranged separately.
