This one fuses traditional military history with more progressive story-telling. It focusses very much on individual stories and then speaks to bigger themes through that. It does so through a room filled with roughly twenty videos with interviews of a Dutch military personnel reminiscing their military/violent past. Also, one stand presents the viewer with wartime dilemma’s faced by Dutch people from early modern times to the present. Recent temporary exhibitions have focussed on children’s life during war time and another on the individual lives of Canadian and German soldier in 1944-1945.
