Very helpful receptionists. Fascinating insight into what happened in Holland during The Second World War.

Brilliant if you want to understand Amsterdam fully and would recommend visiting at the beginning of your break as it pieces a lot of history and landmarks together, shame its 10 euros entry More

Loads of impressive stories from a dark period. What I really liked is that everything is placed in context. It is not just a collection of paraphernalia, but it is very well explained.

The location is a bit remote, but worth seeking out. It is not crowded at all, so is a welcome relief from other tourist sites. I love learning more about the WW2 era, so this was perfect for me. Gave a good sense of place for the Netherlands during the period. More

Tells the story of Amsterdam under the Nazi occupation in World war 2. Includes film and audio from the time, together with personal accounts. Very interesting, and at times quite moving. We enjoyed it as much as the Anne Frank house....plus there were no queues. A hidden gem. More
