National Historic Museum in Arnhem planned on the Rhine
The directors of the planned National Historic Museum announced that the museum is to be built in the centre of Arnhem and not next to the historic village (Openluchtmuseum) as announced earlier.
The building will be erected at the location where the Volkshuisvesting building is presently located, near the John Frost Bridge. The municipality of Arnhem thinks that the location near the John Frost Bridge perfectly fits the museum themes of “war and peace” and “land and water”. Moreover, the city centre has better accessibility than the north of Arnhem where the museum was originally planned.
The project was set up with the aim of opening the museum in two years, but this time span will most likely be abandoned.
