Commandopost Rijswijk: renovation shapes the visit

Museum Bescherming Bevolking in Park Overvoorde covers civil defence and the Cold War. The command post in Rijswijk is closed for renovation; announced open days remain subject to confirmation.

Plan your visit ↗

The complex as a subject

The command post, training building and other parts together form a setting centred on preparing for emergencies. On a guided tour, when available, the explanations can clarify how their functions related to one another.

Waiting for guidance

Which spaces are accessible during the works may change. So do not expect a complete route based on earlier descriptions of visits, and ask in advance what any open day includes.

The right location

The museum also has a location in Grou. The opening of that command post does not apply to Rijswijk; always check the place name in a calendar listing or booking.

Before you go

The renovation may change the schedule. Ask whether guided tours are going ahead, about the last start time and about accessibility; an intended date is not yet a guaranteed opening.
