Traveler reviews

★★★★★3 years agoIf you have an interest in military history you need to visit this smallish museum. It focuses on the history of the Dutch cavalry and the evolution into AFVss, from the 17th to 21st centuries Main building has lots of exhibits, photos and models. The vehicle collection is impressive and located in a seperate building which you need escorted to as the museum is on a live Military Bas. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Impressive collection of working vehicles along with quite a few located around the immediate area. Dont forget you will need ID to gain access but all very straightforward. Well recommended.

★★★★★4 years agoAnyone interested in military history should visit this small museum which deserves to be better known. It focuses on the history of the Dutch cavalry and its evolution into tank regiments, from the 17th to 21st centuries. Chock full of professionally-displayed militaria from uniforms, models, medals, paintings, photos, ephemera etc, and an external display of tanks from WW2 to the present day. This museum is a 'hidden gem' (its website doesn't do the variety of exhibits justice!). It can be reached easily with a 5 minute bus ride from Amersfoort Central Station or a brisk 25 minute walk. Highly recommended.
