The Nationaal Bevrijdingsmuseum (National Liberation Museum) is located close to Nijmegen, Arnhem and the German border, on one of the landing sites of Operation Market Garden and close to the Canadian War Cemetery. The museum tells the story of Holland's struggle for freedom starting in 1918, but mainly focuses on the 1940-45 period of German occupation and the liberation by the Allies. There are scale models, dioramas, and various displays to give insight into what happened nearby. Operation Market Garden is visualised, among other ways, in a scale model with a sound and light show and a life-size diorama depicting Allied troops crossing the river Waal.
The Dome of Honour building, containing a Roll of Honour, is shaped like a parachute and was added in 1987. It was built in memory of the dropping of thousands of American paratroops on the landing zones nearby in September 1944, as well as the great Rhineland Offensive of February 1945.
