Why The Secret Annex Online?
• Annually, about a million people visit the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. The museum has reached the limit of its capacity to accommodate visitors. • Millions of people cannot visit the museum in Amsterdam, because they live too far away or are physically unable to. • Not all of the spaces in the museum in Amsterdam are open to the public. A special advantage of the Secret Annex Online is that some of these spaces can be explored, including the private office of Otto Frank in the attic. Before and after a visit to the house The Secret Annex Online can be visited to prepare for a visit to the museum in Amsterdam, but can also offer deeper insight and enrichment after a visit. As part of the events marking the 50th anniversary of the Anne Frank House museum on May 3, 2010, we want to offer people everywhere in the world the chance to explore the place where Anne Frank lived in hiding. The website is made in Flash and can accommodate large numbers of visitors simultaneously.
