Bunker Museum

The Bunker Museum on Ameland lies in the dunes near Hollum, west of the lighthouse. The small museum is in a former German kitchen bunker and tells of the island during the Second World War.

What can you expect at the Bunker Museum?

• History: Near Hollum stood a German battery with bunkers, barracks, anti-aircraft guns, two radar posts and a minefield. Large parts of the island were a Sperrgebiet, or restricted zone. Volunteers dug out, restored and furnished the bunker.
• Collection: You'll see a photo story, a diorama of the German position, islanders' personal stories, finds and a memorial room for the war victims.
• Entrance hall: The entrance hall is in the former holiday home Donax and shows holiday life of the past.

Practical information

• Tickets: The museum is unstaffed. Buy a ticket at the machine (card or cash) and scan it at the entrance.
• Tip: The museum is open in season, from spring to the end of October. Combine your visit with Maritiem Centrum Abraham Fock.
