The Cavalry Museum in the Bernhard Barracks at Amersfoort has an extensive collection of armoured vehicles and other exhibits related to the history of Dutch cavalry. Most of the exhibits are housed in two buildings. The Sint Jorisgebouw (Saint George Building) displays uniforms, small arms, silverware, paintings, miniatures, and models. These items are exhibited over three floors and cover a historical introduction, the horse, and wheels and tracks. There is also a place in the same building for temporary exhibitions.
The second museum building, the Landsverkgebouw (Landsverk Building), is named after the Swedish tank manufacturer that provided the first armoured cars (the M36 and M38) to the Dutch armoured cavalry. This houses a collection of historic Dutch cavalry vehicles and related items such as engines and other equipment.
In an outdoor display are exhibited various tanks and armoured vehicles positioned around both buildings. Near the Landsverk Building is a restoration site; this is open for group visits by prior arrangement. (Source: CavalerieMuseum).
