MARVELLOUS!!!
The historical information, the setting, the atmosphere, the lifelike dolls, what a collection of objects, the displays in the showcases… magnificent!
And to round it off, the sheds: you couldn’t get any closer to that distant reality!
It really made me pause and reflect…
Huge congratulations – I’d recommend it to everyone!

A unique, beautiful and very interesting museum.
It sheds light on the lesser-known – but certainly no less interesting – aspect of the war in our little country.
It boasts an impressive collection, and hearing the stories and anecdotes from the museum’s driving force and founder makes for an incredible experience.
I can recommend an evening visit to everyone; hearing Freddy’s personal insights adds incredible value to the experience.
Thank you for this unforgettable evening!
