National Liberation Museum 1944-1945
Vrijheidsmuseum
A Second World War museum next to the American landing zone of Operation Market Garden, telling the stories of ordinary people from occupation to liberation.
The National Liberation Museum is located in Groesbeek, southeast of Nijmegen, close to the landing zone used by the US 82nd Airborne Division in 1944. Themed around 'freedom', the museum uses personal stories, film and artefacts to tell the story of the Dutch occupation, liberation and postwar reconstruction. An airborne memorial stands outside. Nearby is the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery. Tickets cost about 17 euros, and the museum is about 30 kilometres from Arnhem.
