    The building is part of the history told through the artifacts within. There aren't many, but there's enough to make it interesting and not boring. The cellar is surprising and the items there should be viewed closely. The ground floor is suitable for small exhibitions. Worth visiting.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful building. Three floors of exhibition space. Toilet for men on the 1st floor and for ladies on the 3rd floor. All floors accessible by stairs and elevator. They alternate the exhibitions regularly. From March 2020 the 3rd floor will be permanent Deventer history again. The entire building is wheelchair accessible. (Original) Prachtig gebouw.

    (Translated by Google) A war museum in a beautiful old building. 9 euro entrance which is quite pricey for the size of the museum. As a disabled person, you must have a mobility scooter that is not too large, otherwise you cannot use the elevator. They do have a wheelchair to borrow (Original) Een oorlogsmuseum in een prachtig oud pand. 9 euro entree wat best prijzig is voor de grote van het museum. Als mindervalide moet je een niet te grote scootmobiel hebben anders kun je niet in de lift. Ze hebben dan wel een rolstoel te leen

  • 5/5 jo s. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Two museums in one: the building itself is museum-like and the (tin) collection on display. Nostalgic and informative exhibition about tin. (Original) Twee musea in een: het gebouw zelf is museaal en de tentoongestelde (blik)collectie. Nostalgisch en informatieve tentoonstelling over blik.

  • 5/5 Sebastian S. 8 months ago on Google
    Really interesting way to start getting to know Deventer, its history and treasures. I enjoyed getting to know more about the city before exploring it on foot.

    (Translated by Google) Scandalous. 9 euros to walk through a supermarket. An exhibition about cans, but 80% of the collection is literally products that are currently available at the supermarket. Complete rip off (Original) Schandalig. 9 euro om door een supermarkt te lopen. Een tentoonstelling over blikjes, maar 80% van de collectie is letterlijk producten die op dit moment gewoon bij de supermarkt liggen. Complete afzetterij

    Quiet museum displaying the history of Deventer, wish there was more (Medieval) art and the shop could have more relevant/locally made stuff like art, jewelry, fashion, literature, food etc.

  • 4/5 Paraplegic R. 5 years ago on Google
    Great displays and well done digital audio assistants. For such a small museum, I felt I paid too much, though.

    A museum about the history of Deventer. There was also an exhibition on the ground floor. The content was not for me, and the english audio tour was too long, I mostly skipped, did just looking around.

  • 5/5 Rob C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful building on the square of Deventer. There are occasional exhibitions, at the time of writing one of the occupation and liberation of Deventer. Very interesting and poignant. (Original) Schitterend gebouw op het plein van Deventer. Er zijn af en toe tentoonstellingen, op het moment van schrijven één van de bezetting en bevrijding van Deventer. Zeer interessant en aangrijpend.

  • 4/5 Laurie S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice exhibition about Deventer during the war. Many "well-known" Deventer names. And special period. With forgotten heroes. What I also found really bizarre were the images of the Waag in that period. Definitely worth a visit. As soon as you are outside you will recognize the photos and places from the war. (Original) Mooie expositie over Deventer in de oorlog. Veel "bekende" Deventer namen. En bijzondere periode. Met vergeten helden. Wat ik ook echt bizar vond waren de beelden over de Waag in die periode. Zeker de moeite waard om te bezoeken. Zodra je buiten staat herken je de foto's en plaatsen uit de oorlog.

  • 4/5 Harry van S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Permanent exhibition gives a nice picture of the function and history of Deventer as a Hanseatic city. Exhibition about 40-45 confronting especially because it gives a good picture of what the population has endured on the basis of personal photos and letters. (Original) Vaste tentoonstelling geeft mooi beeld van functie en geschiedenis van Deventer als Hanzestad. Tentoonstelling over 40-45 confronterend vooral omdat het goed beeld geeft van wat de bevolking heeft doorstaan aan de hand van persoonlijke foto's en brieven.

    (Translated by Google) Exhibition 'Deventer occupied and liberated' gives a small but beautiful visual overview of Deventer in wartime. There are telling posters of the German occupier, but there is also attention for the local resistance fighters. Until October 25, 2020. (Original) Expositie 'Deventer bezet en bevrijd' geeft een klein maar mooi visueel overzicht van Deventer in oorlogstijd. Er hangen veelzeggende affiches van de Duitse bezetter, maar er is ook aandacht voor de lokale verzetsmensen. T/m 25 oktober 2020.
