One of the best military museums I have visited. The museum itself is a modern purpose built building at an old airfield site and covers Dutch army and airforce.
There is stuff from the 17th / 18th Century, WW1 and WW2, Indonesia, Korea right up to modern times and the Dutch peacekeeping missions in Bosnia and Afghanistan.
Tanks, self propelled guns, artillery, support vehicles, aircraft, missiles, uniform displays, etc. Lots of modern weapons too.
Currently got a 50 years of the F16 display.
I spent the whole day there - there's lots of rooms in the main building but also other external sites around the airfield.
Displays and audio visuals are in Dutch and English. I could have spent much longer listening to the audio visual talking head stories.
