The Musée National de la
Resistance (the Museum of the Belgian resistance) is located at 14 Rue Van Lint, 1070 Anderlecht, not far from the Gare du Midi on the outskirts of Brussels
and is probably best reached by taxi-cab.
The museum boasts a vast and
fascinating collection of false ID papers, weapons, clandestine printing
presses, clothing, photos and communications equipment.
The museum needs the support of Secret
Army fans if it is to survive, as it receives no government funding and
is in danger of being absorbed by the
Belgian National Army Museum which already has a small section on
evasion lines.
Opening Times:
The museum is open from 0900 to 1200, 1300 to 1600 (except Wednesdays
and public holidays) and admission is free. However, it is always a good idea to call
in advance of your visit: 02/5224041
