The Royal Defence Museums are the custodians of the military heritage of the Dutch armed forces. We bring the history and significance of this heritage to life for everyone. We manage a unique collection of objects and stories that illuminate the military past, present and future of the Netherlands. We bring the rich military history of the Netherlands closer and pass on this valuable heritage to future generations.
With our collection and museums, we inspire and connect as many people as possible with the stories of the Dutch armed forces. So that everyone recognises the significance of the armed forces in our history and we contribute to a better understanding of the world and the challenges of today. We tell the military story of the Netherlands through unique objects, personal stories of service personnel and events that resonate.
