Guided tour: The museum during the Second World War
Weekends in september
The Battle of Arnhem struck the city deep in its heart in 1944. Not only was virtually the entire city centre destroyed, but the people of Arnhem were also ordered to leave the city within 48 hours. One of the places they could go was the Dutch Open Air Museum.
Conditions were harsh. There was no heating, electricity or running water in the houses, and people did their washing in the Zaanse pond. Children were born, and there was a dramatic raid in which resistance fighter Anton Zwiers was shot dead. An impressive guided tour that brings history to life.
The guided tour takes you to places in the museum that are not normally accessible.
