The National Museum of the Resistance (French: Musée national de la Résistance; Dutch; Flemish: Nationaal Museum van de Weerstand) is a museum in Anderlecht, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium, tracing the history of the Belgian Resistance and German occupation of Belgium during World War II.
The museum is located at 14b, French: rue Van Lint|italic=no/Dutch; Flemish: Van Lintstraat|italic=no in the Cureghem/Kuregem district of Anderlecht, next to the Municipal Hall. This site is served by Clemenceau metro station on lines 2 and 6 of the Brussels Metro, as well as the tram stop French: Conseil|italic=no/Dutch; Flemish: Raad|italic=no (on line 81).[1]
The museum seeks to raise awareness of the role of the Belgian Resistance during both World Wars and preserves documents and artifacts relating to the period.[2] It especially touches on the German occupation during World War II, the Holocaust in Belgium and deportations of prisoners of war during that conflict.[3]
In addition to Belgian war history, a room in the museum is also reserved for testimonies of wars suffered by other European countries, such as the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), the interwar period (1918–1939), as well the former Soviet Union in World War II (1941–1945). The museum is not only a place for historical heritage about war, but also serves as a place to commemorate wars and to spread a message of peace.
The museum is housed in the building in which the Faux Soir was produced during the German occupation and is supported by the Front de l'Indépendance association.
