The Atlantikwall Museum Scheveningen Foundation was founded on 1st January 2005. Its statutes are registered in The Hague.
The Hague is the international city of justice and peace, the legal capital of the world. She is featured prominently in the world news through important international organisations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the Yugoslavia Tribunal (ICTY). In addition to these administrations of justice impressive clusters of non-governmental organisations and institutes of knowledge have followed in their wake.
The Atlantikwall Museum anticipates a further expansion of these developments and aims to provide a meeting ground for war, peace and justice.
As a living monument dedicated to peace education, the Museum aims to provide a setting for exhibitions and conferences and organises personal tours
In conjunction with existing cultural institutions in The Hague and other Atlantikwall museums elsewhere, the museum aims to place specific local history in an international context.
