Anne Frank Museum
#thenetherlands
Located in Ansterdam in the town of Prinsengracht, is this place that collects the story of a little girl who lived and left her experiences of the atrocities of war to posterity.
This museum opened its doors on May 3, 1960, known as house 263, this building survived its demolition thanks to the campaign promoted by the Dutch newspaper Het Vrije Volk, its defenders grouped together containing and postponing its order of destruction, subsequently the Anne Frank Foundation was created by Otto Frank and Johannes Kleiman on 3 May 1975 with the main objective of collecting sufficient funds to buy and restore the building, over time the company that acquired the donation to this foundation and the collection served for the purchase of the adjacent building.
From the beginning, Anne Frank's old hideaway attracted a lot of interest, especially after the newspaper's translations and dramatizations made her a figure known throughout the world. More than 9000 visitors were in the first year. In a decade the number doubled. Over the years, the building had to be renovated to protect it from large numbers of visitors and as a result it closed temporarily in 1970 and 1999.
On 28 September 1999, Queen Beatrix I of the Netherlands reopened the museum, which now incorporated the entire building between exhibition spaces, a bookstore and a café, and presented the front house offices rebuilt to their original state in the 1940s. In 2007, more than one million people visited the museum
It is currently possible to take a virtual tour on site, through an application for virtual reality glasses.
