An outstanding museum. They tell a complete story through their collection, but more importantly it is thought provoking and challenges assumptions. I hope to visit again someday.

Beautiful museum about WW2. They have a nice collection and interesting interactive shows. Also very nice for Children. The special part on the black triangle was very impressive. The cafe and shop are a nice addition. Well worth a visit!

Museum of Freedom: Groesbeek, Province of Gelderland, eastern Netherlands, Dingesdaeg, June 7, 2022. Interesting space in an innovative housing construction. The main exhibition takes participants along a journey that commences just one year following the first International Peace Conference held at The Hague in 1899. That international gathering took place at the invitation of Wilhelmina, Monarch of the Dutchlish, but was the brainchild of her second-cousin, Tzar Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia, in St Petersburg. The Russia Tzar was alerted to the pending and imminent danger of mass annihilation by a Polish industrialist, by the name of Ivan Bloch, and who warned the Russian Tzar that the contemporary scientific innovations around the development of the machine-gun during the 1880s would lead to a situation whereby 'traditional' warfare (as it was known throughout the 1800s since the Irishman Arthur Wellesley defeated French Emperor Napoleon at Waterloo) would be no longer possible and instead could lead to a situation whereby warfare would become 'unwinnable', creating 'intractable stalemate'. Queen Wilhelmina made 'Huis Ten Bosch' available for that (First) Hague Peace Conference in 1899. And, at that first ever international peace conference, it was decided to establish an international 'Permanent Court of Arbitration' and to build a special 'Peace Palace' for that precise purpose. Wilhelmina herself was present at the opening of the Peace Palace at The Hague in 1913. Alas, events in Serbia the following year would trigger precisely that which the railroad magnate and Polish-born author, banker and railway financier Ivan Gotlib Bloch had already warned Tzar Nicholas about in 1899 in his acclaimed publication: 'Is War Now Impossible? (Vol. 1, 1899) and 'The future of war; in its technical, economic, and political relations.' (Vol. 2, 1899). The museum exhibition takes participants on a journey throughout the twentieth century and the two World Wars that scarred it completely. Specific focus is given to the particular role played by the southeastern Netherlands during the closing battles of the Second World War 1944/45, and the plight of the native, civilian population when the greatest armies to have ever assembled themselves met on opposite sides of the Great Rivers that divide the southern Netherlands' landscape in the autumn of 1944.

One of the best WW II museums I have ever seen. If you are German you might not want to go. Totally honest about the Nazis and the cruelty and injustices of WW II. They still remember what the Canadian, USA, and British (all Allies) in war. It is all honest and a good remembrance of the atrocities of WE II.
