The Ossendrecht War Museum is a private museum, founded by Jan de Jonge. Jan has collected souvenirs from the Second World War his entire life (born 1943). The collecting started in and around the house in Zeeland, but also with his grandparents in Brabant. Collecting has become a true passion. From the beginning, Jan has found pleasure in it and has let others enjoy or 'shudder' at his collection.

The collection of collector and curator Jan M. de Jonge can be called unique in the Netherlands. It includes many complete uniforms (more than 200), radio and transmission equipment, weapons, utensils, surrogates, ammunition, mines, hand grenades and optical equipment. Each piece has been preceded by a thorough study in order to present it in an authentic way.

From Bergen op Zoom, along Ossendrecht, towards Putte (Belgium) the museum is located on the right of the road (in a former Military Home) between the exits of the Police Training Centre and the former Wilhelmina Barracks. Visit oorlogsmuseumossendrecht.nl for current opening hours.

There is a military museum here. Several old cannon guns are on display outside the building. It was closed on a Tuesday as I rode past
