A selection of products from the store of the National Military Museum (NMM) went online this week. At the NMM at the former Soesterberg Air Base is much to see and… to do! The museum has been voted the Best Kids Museum in Utrecht for 3 years in a row by MuseumKids and the ANWB. Have you been there?
With more than 300,000 objects, the NMM has the largest military collection in the Netherlands. From flint arrowhead to contemporary jet fighter. The NMM is part of the Royal Defense Museums Foundation. This also includes the Marine Museum in Den Helder, the Marine Museum in Rotterdam and the Marechaussee Museum in Buren.
In the museum shop of the NMM you will find a large collection of books about the armed forces, including the yearbook ‘ARMA’, in which you can discover the variety of collections of the four Defense Museums. But also nice gadgets and things for the home or to give as a gift. Who do you think is suitable, or… Unsuitable? Part of our store range is now also available online.
The day will come when museums show cannons in the way they show torture devices in this day and age, wondering how such things ever even existed.
Victor Hugo (1802-1895)
