Kroller Muller Museum features one of the largest Van Gogh collections and the largest sculpture garden in Europe.
Reviewed By Eestigirl - Leavenworth, United States
What a gem! We had no idea of what to expect, but the delightful museum in the midst of a forested Park was a real find. In addition to the extensive Van Gogh collection (with some wonderful pieces) the Kroller Muller Museum also has a nice collection of other impressionists. We also loved the sculpture garden with its meandering paths, trails to high points all to display interesting modern art in a beautiful setting.
3. Airborne Museum at Hartenstein

The museum was completely renewed in 2019/2020. The monumental Hartenstein Villa was the headquarters of the British Airborne Division during the Battle of Arnhem (1944). Here, the stories of British, Polish and German soldiers come to life. Civilians also play an important role. Come and see our collection of authentic weaponry, documents, footage and photographs. The new multilingual audio tour provides 50 exhibits with personal background stories. Historian and bestseller author Antony Beevor voiced the English audio tour. In the underground Airborne Experience you will be transported into the very midst of the battle.

Very friendly and warm welcome in the fully renewed airborne museum. Well documented, top information through the audio system that one receives by taking the ticket. The airborne experience underneath in the sub-floor is great exposition and adventure.The house with such a history los a bit of it's charms due to the renovtion but it is ready for the future now. It is focused on the British airborne attack, for the US paratrooper endeavours one has to see other museums in their respective area's of operations. After the museum visit, take a walk in the park to see the memorials, the Sherman tank and anti-tank gun and if you have time, walk the perimeter to the Lonsdale ( the old ) church down to the river Rhine.

Kids can get their hands ‘dirty’ when cooking gingerbread cookies. Interesting displays about baking and the baker’s (family) life in the old days. The life bread demo was fun to watch and kept everyone entertained for quite some time. Treasure hunts available for different ages. The layout with multiple buildings is funny and embers the museum in the old streets of Hattem. The typical ‘poffertjes’ are a treat after the tour.
6. muZIEum

What is it like to be blind or partially sighted? You can read about it or someone can tell you about it from their own experience, but during a visit to muZIEum (muSEEum) you will experience it yourself. Enter a world in which your other senses - hearing, smell, touch and taste - suddenly play a far more important role than you are used to.

Me and my sister grew up in Nijmegen, but had nog done the outside experience from the Muzieum yet. We do recommend it. They have very nice guides who have really bad sight who come with you and they tell you their story. You can ask all your questions. Also their is a seeing guide who comes as well. They show you around and with the VR glasses on you can experience different eye illnesses and how it is to live and walk with such an illness. You have your stick to feel the ground. An interesting experience everyone should do. It is a real eye opener because you get to know things you otherwise would never think about. Why certain decisions are made etc.

The chained library is open only to short tours with a guide. Very rare piece of history - both in the building and in the books - that was well explained. For just a few Euros - for church and library this is definitely worth a visit

Fascinating place, very well designed and most informative showing history of Jews in Holland (as well as Elburg) over the centuries. Sad to see how so many Jews were murdered by the Nazis. attached museum is well thought out. Convenient Parking nearly. Quit a lot (but not all) of descriptions are translated into English. Nice little shop to buy things
