Housed in a 1876 former synagogue building near Artis Zoo, the Verzetsmuseum documents the Dutch experience of Nazi occupation from 1940 to 1945 through personal stories, photographs, posters, film and artifacts. Its main exhibition covers resistance, collaboration and daily life under occupation, alongside a dedicated show on the wartime and post-war history of the former Dutch colonies. A children's wing, the Resistance Museum Junior, presents the same period through the eyes of four young eyewitnesses.
