Perfecto para amantes de la historia

Muy recomendable para amantes de la historia. Es un recorrido por la historia de los Países Bajos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, basado en decenas de historias individuales. Muy interesante y tiene audioguía en español. Si lo quieres ver entero escuchando todas las historias, te llevará unas tres horas.

Descubrimiento

Uno de los museos tapados de Amsterdam que es un auténtica joya. Un verdadero sitio de memoria y un buen recordatorio para la democracia. Además tiene una parte para niños entretenidísima que enseña de manera muy llamativa la Historia de la lucha contra el nazismo.

Visita Imprescindible / Must-see

Es un museo de obligada visita en Amsterdam. Muestra la realidad de la sociedad neerlandesa y por extensión europea en el período de la llegada al poder Hitler en Alemania y la invasión de toda Europa por el ejército nazi. Plantea las diferentes formas de abordar la situación: siendo colaborador de los nazis; oponiéndoles resistencia; o intentando pasar lo más inadvertido posible. Muy didáctico, ameno y visual: afiches, fotografías, objetos de la época y la historia personal de varias personas desde líderes nazis neerlandeses hasta opositores que lucharon en La Resistenica contra el invasor. Hay a su vez varios videos cortos que explican acontecimientos relevantes durante la invasión nazi a los Países Bajos. El audio funciona muy bien y está disponible en varios idiomas. Un museo con un contenido muy relevante. Visitarlo, en mi opinión, es esencial porque siempre ha habido líderes mesiánicos que destruyeron la convivencia bajo falsos discursos y porque aprender de los errores de nuestros abuelos nos prepara para afrontar con más claridad lo que puede venir. It is a must-see museum in Amsterdam. It shows the reality of Dutch and, by extension, European society in the period when Hitler came to power in Germany and the invasion of all of Europe by the Nazi army. It raises the different ways of approaching the situation: being a collaborator of the Nazis; resisting them; or trying to go as inconspicuous as possible. Very educational, entertaining and visual: posters, photographs, objects from the time and the personal history of several people from Dutch Nazi leaders to opponents who fought in the Resistance Front against the invader. There are also several short videos that explain relevant events during the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands. The audio works great and is available in multiple languages. A museum with very relevant content. Visiting it, in my opinion, is essential because there have always been messianic leaders who destroyed coexistence under false discourses and because learning from the mistakes of our grandparents prepares us to face more clearly what may come.

Sin palabras 😥

Más que el museo de la resistencia, es el museo de la represión y exterminio de una parte del pueblo holandés. Más de una persona que se envuelve en la bandera del agulicho al grito de ¡¡arriba Ñordia!! debería verlo.

Museo de la Resitencia

El museo de la Resistencia es Muy interesante, tiene una audioguia en castellano gratis con la entrada. La zona muy bonita para pasear

Imperdible

Una muy grata sorpresa este museo. Es muy interactivo y tiene audioguías en todos los idiomas. Muy interesante para conocer el papel de este país durante el nazismo. Para los niños hay un sector muy atractivo y didáctico acerca de las distintas posiciones ideológicas de las familias con la recreación de sus casas. Lo recomiendo muchísimo! Es una lástima que tenga poca prensa. Me enteré por una guía de Sandemans a quien le agradezco enormemente.

History of the horrors of war in the Netherlands.

A very poignant telling of the true horrors of World War II in a very well done and organized manner. May we never forget.

Outstanding history of life under occupation

This is a really excellent museum - the quality of the curation is far beyond what you might usually expect from a smaller museum like this. It’s a little outside the centre of the city so most visitors will need to make a bit of a detour to get here. But it’s well worth it. The museum tells the story of Amsterdam and the Netherlands during WW2. That’s to say the material suffering (hunger etc), the cruelty (murders, deportations, collective punishment etc meted out by the Nazi occupiers) and the heroism of some who bravely resisted the enemy. The exhbits bring the history alive really well, with a mixture of videos, original artefacts and many personal stories of real people. These personal stories contain just the right amount of detail, communicating in easily digestible snippets the human experiences that lie behind the wider conflict. The museum documents the moral dilemmas faced by so many Dutch citizens during the occupation. While a minority of Dutch openly sympathised with and acted as agents of the occupiers, many more made smaller compromises for a range of reasons. For every black and white case there were many more cases that were shades of grey. The museum asks us to ask ourselves: how would we have acted under similar circumstances? At what point does forced accommodation with the enemy shade over into collaboration? What happens when loyalty to family and friends comes into tension with loyalty to country? A visit to this museum is thought provoking and challenging. There are no easy answers to the questions it asks. You don't need to be a history enthusiast to visit, you just need an enquiring and open mind. Highly recommended.

An uncensored view into occupied holland.

The resistance museum gives a all around uncensored view into WW2 Holland. It is perfectly done with a perfect mix of personal stories and historic overviews. It is not an easy museum and everyone did it at a different pace. The museum is aware and allows for reentry for those who need a break.

Educatief en leuk

Één geweldige ervaring die je meeneemt naar het begin van de oorlog tot de bevrijding en neem even je tijd want er is veel te zien . Ook voor kids een speciale sectie om op hun niveau veel bij te leren . Audio tour in verschillende talen en airco in het gehele gebouw (was toen ik ging 34 graden buiten ) dus een enorme meevaller . Rechttegenover artis zoo en gemakkelijk te bereiken .

Great WWII museum

This museum is very well done and comprehensive. And in good taste. If you are in to WWII history this museum is a must. They have audio boxes for several languages, including English. Plan on a couple hours.

Must do for your vacation

This is a must-do for your trip. It was a really powerful and emotional exhibit. I learned a ton and I can’t recommend it enough.

Boeiend, afwisselend en interactief

Goed opgezet, interactief en afwisselend, audiotour werkt feilloos, educatief, in 2-2,5 uur kun je het hele museum aandachtig bekijken. Aandacht voor voormalige koloniën. De vele persoonlijke verhalen maken de expo boeiend.

Well worth it

Really fascinating place and I learned so much. Free audio guide with admittance and you can come in and out the entire day. (I went out and got lunch at one point) Took me 2.5 hours to go through the entire thing, but really enjoyed it. I learned so much about the circumstances of different Dutch people in resistance at all points in Nazi power.

Fascinating museum. Definitely worth a visit.

Great museum documenting the struggle of the Dutch people against the Nazis. The staff are really nice and welcoming. The audio tour was excellent and we were able to do it at our own pace so we could read all the stories. Very sad and we had to take a moment once we got outside just to sit and reflect. We have done lots of museums dedicated to WWII and the horrors of war especially on the Jews, Romani and other minorities but alas it never gets easier to see and read the stories, probably because the suffering of innocent people is still happening today all over the world. Lest We Forget.

Intense and immersive. Highly recommend for children and teens who are interested in History.

Best museum for learning about WW2. We and our kids (ages 8-15) were completely engaged with both the junior and regular exhibits. They have and extensive collection built on hundreds of primary sources and we spent two hours immersed in the photos and videos. The content provoked hours of intense discussions amongst our family.

Excellent.

Excellent museum and very well done. Important topic and we learned so much!

A Great gripping experience

We visited several museums in Amsterdam and the Verzetsmusum was our favourite by far. It's not to big or to crowded. The interactive displays are both interesting and informative and gives a gripping account of life in the Netherlands and its colonies during WWII

This museum is really well done

This museum is really well done. My grandfather was part of the resistance during WWII, so I wanted to understand what my family went through during that time. I was not disappointed. This museum is literally teeming with displays/films/audio of the heroes and the villains of this period of time. You can hear it in the language of your choice at your own pace. It is well worth the price of admission.

So glad we didn’t miss this.

The museum was incredibly powerful. We learned so much. Our only disappointment was that we did not allow enough time for our visit.

Excellent Museum to learn more about the Dutch Experience during WWII

My mother grew up in a town near Amsterdam during WWII, and the Germans occupied that area. I wanted to learn more about what my mother experienced, and what the people of The Netherlands did to fight against this occupation. I learned so much about the bravery of the people, but also the struggles and starvation. The process of going through the Museum is very well done, with films placed intermittently throughout. (A nice place to sit!) And the audio was so helpful. Highly recommend a visit to this museum.

Very worthwhile visit

Very worthwhile visit. Lots of information about Dutch experience in Second World War and under nazis. Learned a lot. Very well set out and engaging. Excellent audio guide.

Great Museum!

Really good history of the Dutch Resistance in WW2 and how WW2 impactedthe Dutch colonies around the world. Children's area was an eye-opening gem.

Excellent immersive experience

This is a brilliant museum, incredibly powerful and immersive. The personal stories coupled with historical account brought it to life in a way I wasn’t expecting. I would recommend this to anyone.

One of the best museums I have visited

This museum is very well run ,professional with lovely staff and a good range of books and other publications in English and Dutch . The stories and exhibits tell the individual stories of personal bravery and consideration and are inspiring and sad ,heart-breaking in different ways . The featured people put their lives at risk for their principles and values, freedom on a daily basis . This is an excellent museum and has an accompanying audio guide which can be activated on reaching the different displays . There is a locker room where you can leave your baggage which is free and excellent toilet facilities . The museum has air conditioning and is comfortable to walk around . Open 10.00-5.00 payment and purchases are by card only. The national Holocaust museum is just around the corner. I would recommend at least two hours + to visit

Personal Histories of the Dutch in WWII

The museum uses personal experiences to characterize the behavior of the Dutch under Nazi occupation. The curators try to capture the variety of response within what was for most Dutch a time of profound suffering without ignoring the Dutch who amplified the suffering of their fellow citizens. The use of personal experience is comparable to the Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom in Tallin, Estonia. Especially, poignionant and thought provoking is the exhibit on the Dutch treatment of Indonesians after WWII.

Outstanding museum

Outstanding museum. My daughters (9 and 11) said it was the best museum they’d ever visited. And the adults learnt lots about the Dutch resistance and experience too. My daughter reminds me that we talked about it all dinner time too.

Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing museum, we easily spent almost three hours there and we learned so much. There’s even a junior section to make the history more palatable for younger audiences. Excellent coverage of the Dutch colonies and the women’s movement in Iran

An easy and educational experience

A very exciting and, not least, reflective experience that gives food for thought in a turbulent time.

Resistance is a duty

Very well organized and presented. Compelling materials, opportunities to express your thoughts on a display wall with dozens of others. Included a temporary Iranian women’s exhibit. A must see

resistance museum amsterdam is worth a 2 hour visit

resistance museum amsterdam is worth a 2 hour visit; learn of WW 2 in Holland.

Een indrukwekkend gezinsuitje

Met onze kleinzoon van 14 bezochten wij dit museum. Het is een bijzonder persoonlijke aanpak, je leert de oorlog kennen via portretten van individuele mensen en hun rol n de oorlog. Voor alle leeftijden!!

Impedibile

Una scoperta, audioguida in italiano, visita che é durata circa due ore e mezza, molto interessante. Si dà erroneamente per scontato che l'occupazione tedesca in paesi come l'Olanda sia stata più 'leggera' e che non ci sia stata Resistenza, musei come questo contestualizzano, raccontano tante storie personali, insomma aiutano a comprendere la complessità della storia.

Top quality musuem

A must see attraction. With the help of audio guides, you relive the story of Dutch resistance during WWII. Tastefully and professionally done. Mastercard cards accepted.

Very interesting & thought provoking

This is a very well presented museum with good audio option. Gives a great insight into what went on during the war.

Amazing and thought provoking.

Great admin for ticket booking and a friendly/helpful greeting on arrival. This museum is amazing. Information is broken down by chronology and into manageable chunks. There is the option of an excellent audio guide which is free of charge. Lovely to see the additional women's resistance exhibition which was very thought provoking. We were so engaged we hadn't realised 2 hours had passed. We went first thing in the morning and it wasn't too crowded.

Dutch Resistance Museum Tour

Absolutely amazing, very informative with audio descriptions and videos with sign language, easy to walk around and follow directions. Would definitely recommend.

Immersive, Heartbreaking, and Essential

An extraordinary and deeply moving museum experience. The Resistance Museum manages, with remarkable creativity and sensitivity, to recreate something of the atmosphere of life under occupation in the Netherlands — the fear, uncertainty, persecution, and daily moral dilemmas people faced. What impressed me most was how powerfully it brings to life not just the historical events, but the human stories behind them: ordinary people confronted with impossible choices, acts of courage, moments of despair, and the quiet resilience that helped so many endure. The way the material is presented is incredibly thoughtful and immersive. Rather than simply displaying facts, the museum draws you into the emotional reality of the time. You leave with a much deeper understanding of the struggles people went through, and with profound admiration for those who resisted in ways both large and small. I was truly, deeply impressed — this is one of the most powerful and beautifully curated museums I have ever visited.

Hidden gem

Lovely little museum hidden a bit out of the centre of the city, tells the story of the Netherlands through the war and the resistance to the occupiers not just in the country itself but also the colonies

Very informative and moving.

Excellent museum. Definitely worth a visit.

Musée très intéressant

Le musée de la résistance est un musée très intéressant et interactif qui retrace l'histoire de la résistance aux Pays-Bas durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Je recommande. Toutefois, il vaut mieux avoir 1h30/2h de temps libre pour le visiter car il y a beaucoup d'informations.

Thought provoking

This is a very well presented museum with films and descriptions of life during the war. My teenagers, who are both studying history, found it easy to access and thought provoking. The handheld audio guides helped as we walked round. It takes about 2 hours.

Well worth visit

Great insight into life of ordinary people in an occupied country as well as their resistance

Excellent interactive museum with great children’s exhibits

Excellent museum and not to be missed! Included interactive elements and short films. Fantastic children’s area that follows the lives of four children and includes a mini school room, shops, etc. Free lockers. An Amsterdam “must do” in my book!

Excellent - impactful experience!

This is a great museum that is so relevant with the world today. Highly educational for all ages. It's full of histories - allowing you to understand Amsterdam and how the past shaped this city/Europe. We went for 4 hours and was able to listen/watched/read the summary of each items on display; and wish we had at least 1 more hour to finish learning the Women's section of the museum. Highly recommend - an important history to know. We came from the US to visit the museum and it hits home (a parallel of the current affairs).

Informative and eye-opening. Worth taking the opportunity to visit and learn.

I used the I amsterdam card for entry. The museum delivers a detailed account of life for the people of the Netherlands during the occupation. Personal accounts and profiles are represented. The audio guide was faultless.

Definitely a museum to visit

The Resistance Museum is definitely one to visit when in Amsterdam. It works best when asking questions - after you view an exhibit it asks what you would do in similar circumstances. Well laid out informative and a possibly a key to understanding the Dutch way of thinking. Neither does it shy away from the awkward fact that many Dutch sided with the Nazi regime. Highly recommended

An absolute must for anyone wishing to understand how history could repeat itself.

An incredibly moving experience. Excellent story telling of the horror and heroism shown during the Second World War. The unexpected temporary exhibition of Woman life freedom moved me to tears and is a must an any self respecting woman to see. Highly recommend a visit and I would suggest a good 2-3 hours to really take in all the information contained within the exhibits.

A must see museum

Awesome place telling story of Dutch resistance and more, current exhibition of women for freedom an added bonus, an absolute must see at very reasonable price includes free audio tour equipment

Lovely place to visit to learn more about the role of the resistance in Holland during the occupation

We walked here from our hotel, which took about 40 minutes through the lovely city. Entrance cost 17.50 Euros each and we were given a free electronic guide which is easy to use as you just tap on things around the museum to get more detail. Very easy to follow walkway and there are lots of places to sit and stop and take everything in. There is even signposting for the deaf on all the video displays. As we were walking round there were some school trips and everyone was respectful. Anyone interested in the Dutch Heroine (Hannie Schaft) will find out more about her story here. Lots of objects, photo's video etc and really well set out. There is also a small cafe which we visited fro lunch afterwards before we walked round the corner to a separate venue. Round the corner from this museum is another museum which the Germans used to gather everyone up before they were deported to god known where. This was done very secretively as the place was an old theatre so people came in, registered, sat and waited before being carted off to god known where, which usually meant the train station and last stop Auschwitz. If you visit the museum. walk back out the front door, turn right and walk about 100 yards down the road and turn left. One museum is on the right with the old cinema on the left.
