Atlantikwall Museum Scheveningen

About

The Atlantikwall Museum Scheveningen in The Hague offers a compelling glimpse into one of the most extensive defensive structures of the Second World War. Hidden within the dunes along the coast, the museum preserves original German bunkers that formed part of the Atlantic Wall, a vast fortification built to defend occupied Europe. Visitors can walk through restored corridors, command posts, and observation rooms, gaining insight into daily life inside the bunkers and the strategic role they played. Authentic objects, detailed displays, and atmospheric spaces bring the wartime environment vividly to life. The museum also highlights the impact of the occupation on Scheveningen’s residents, whose neighbourhoods were transformed by military construction. Combining history, architecture, and landscape, the Atlantikwall Museum offers a powerful and immersive encounter with a turbulent chapter of the region’s past.
