Freedom Museum

The Freedom Museum (Dutch: Vrijheidsmuseum) is a Dutch museum themed around the liberation of the Netherlands at the end of World War II, and is located in Groesbeek, close to the German border.

Until September 2019 the museum was known as the National Liberation Museum 1944-1945.

The museum further aims to provide a grander-scale image of the Dutch liberation of German occupancy in general.
