Royal Dutch Signals Museum
Important note:
As of 1 June 2009, the Signal Museum is closed awaiting its move to a new
premises. At that point, the final destination of the museum was still unknown,
but there were reliable signs that it would move to Bernhardkazerne in
Amersfoort (Netherlands). Meanwhile, all items have been packed, but the
destination of the museum is still unclear.
In mid-2010 the situation got worse as the new location was not approved,
due to cost cuttings. The future of the museum is now uncertain.
The Royal Dutch Signals Museum is the the key place in The Netherlands to
see the history of the Dutch Army's Signal Department.
The museum has a unique collection of communication devices, spy radio sets
and cipher machines on public display.
Much of the communication equipment is in full working condition and can be
demonstrated to the public. Most of the (rare) cipher machines are behind glass.

The museum is run by volunteers (mainly ex-signals personnel) and was housed
in two large buildings on the Signal Corps' base in Ede (Netherlands). As the
premises have meanwhile been sold to the Ede city council, all buildings have
to be cleared by 1 January 2011. A new location for the museum has not yet been
found. More information is available on the museum's website.
