On 17 September, a delegation from the charitable committee of the Rotary Noordwijk en Omstreken handed over an AED device to the board and volunteers of our museum. With this device we have secured even more the safety of our visitors (now more than 7000 per year) and our volunteers.
Many volunteers are already ER officers, others can have the opportunity to follow the AED course through the Volunteer Support Center Noordwijk.
Afterwards a drink and a bite, of course bunker cheese from Peter den Elzen.

A grenade was found on excavation work in the northern part of the complex on Saturday 18 July (left picture). Police warned. They ruled that the grenade was in a safe place and could later be detonated. That happened Monday morning, July 20th (right picture).

The European Heritage Foundation Atlantikwall organized a bunker day on 6 June, during which bunkers were opened at 30 locations. Noordwijk could not be lacking and therefore the Atlantic Wall Museum Noordwijk Foundation also opened its doors and corridors. A result that may be there. More than 600 visitors have found their way to Noordwijk.
Between Noordwijk and Katwijk, American and Canadian vehicles drove to transport people from the Katwijks Museum to Noordwijk and vice versa.

With great interest from volunteers, donors and sponsors, the new museum was reopened in the dunes on 2 May. The reopening was done by Mr. J. Rijpstra, mayor of the municipality of Noordwijk. At the front left is Mr. V. Salman, chairman of the Atlantic Museum Noordwijk Foundation.
