Explore the moving permanent exhibition, "Camp Vught: Seven Seasons and 32,000 Stories," which shares personal accounts and artifacts from people of 35 different nationalities. Each story provides a unique perspective on the impact of the war.
Venture outside to see a detailed model of the former campsite, reconstructed barracks, original crematorium, and the children’s transport memorial from June 1943. Don’t miss Barrack 1B, the last remaining original barrack, open at select times for a deeper connection to the past.
Discover the exhibition "If Walls Could Speak," which traces the site’s transformation through four significant periods, including its use by German evacuees, Dutch collaborators, and Moluccan KNIL soldiers after the war. The museum is accessible, with free lockers, umbrellas, and portable chairs available for your comfort.
Take a reflective walk to the former execution site, located about four kilometers from the museum, and pause at the monument honoring the 329 men executed there. Along the way, you’ll see restored freight wagons, somber reminders of the deportations that took place. Secure your entry ticket now to experience this vital piece of history firsthand.
