DUTCH MARINES

Defending our national interests worldwide has been the mission of the Marine Corps for centuries. Based on various actions from the past and now, we show in Naval Infantry why the motto ‘Qua Patet Orbis’ or ‘As wide the world stretches’ still typifies the marine today.

Heroes

People who put aside their self-interest to help others are often called heroes. For example, healthcare workers are called heroes in this challenging time. But what exactly is a hero? In the Heroes exhibition, possible contenders for the title of hero are measured against the yardstick of courage, policy and loyalty.

"Just got home from another visit to the Marines Museum. We were met with a warm and hospitable welcome by a museum assistant who explained exactly what was on display. Excellent. Great for the kids too. Well worth a visit." Ton - Tripadvisor
