Venlo Just over the street from Station Venlo is the Limburg Museum. I went on a Saturday morning and I must have had this whole large airy building all to myself which was equal parts nice and strange. For those not from this province this collection provides some historical insight to the region. I didn't see anything about WW11 here which I was expecting given the level of activity (bombings and the 'Venlo Incident') perhaps I missed a section. Walking around Venlo and seeing the beautiful town hall and the Gothic Romerhuis I can imagine that the city must have lost quite a lot during WW11 in terms of structures which suffered heavy bombings and of course the 'Venlo Incident' was the pretext for the Nazi occupation. The Venlo station too is typical post war 1950's style.
