The Museum for War History 1940-1945 (Museum voor Oorlogshistorie 1940-1945) in Midwolda is a privately run museum managed by Mr. M. Stek. It offers a detailed look into daily life in the Netherlands during World War II, particularly in the province of Groningen. The collection features a wide range of items including uniforms, weapons, documents, everyday objects, and photographs from the mobilization period, the years of occupation, and the liberation. Many of the artifacts come from the local region, offering a personal and regional perspective on the war.
The museum is small but well-maintained, and visitors often praise the curator’s passion and the impressive range of original items. You can visit by appointment or during regular weekend opening hours. Admission is free, but a voluntary donation is appreciated.
