The 5 Best Specialty Museums in Arnhem, Gelderland Province
A sizable city in its own right, Arnhem is best known today as the site of one of the most famous battles of World War II. Given city rights in 1233, it has long been at the center of conflicts because of its strategic location on the banks of the Rhine River. The Battle of Arnhem, part of Operation Market Garden, was fought in September 1944. Advancing Allied forces, in large part due to a series of mistakes, failed to secure a key bridge and suffered defeat, delaying the Allied advance into Germany until the following spring. The 1977 movie "A Bridge Too Far" was based on the events here.

As the Dutch East Indies is very much part of my family history it was very interesting to visit this museum. From the start to the end of the Dutch colonial era everything was displayed. The stories I had heard from my father and grandmother had extra meaning. Outside is also the memorial to the various hell ships lost during WWII. For me seeing the plaque for the Junyo Maru torpedoed accidently by the British on which my grandfather lost his life had special meaning.
