Anne Frank House museum unveils virtual reality tour
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Amsterdam museum dedicated to Anne Frank’s life launches a virtual reality tour of the cramped quarters where the Jewish diarist and her family hid from Nazis during World War II, marking what would have been her 89th birthday.
The Anne Frank House says the 25-minute tour means people won’t have to visit the museum to see the annex where the Franks and four other Jews hid from July 1942 until they were discovered in August 1944 and deported to concentration camps.
Anne Frank House executive director Ronald Leopold says the tour “offers an immersive experience” of the rooms hidden behind an Amsterdam canal-side house where Anne wrote her diary.
