At the location where the Aviation Department of the Royal Army was established in 1913, the National Military Museum stands 100 years later. An impressive building with a spectacular roof of 110 x 250 meters and 13-meter high glass exterior walls. It gives visitors a sense of space and a view of the collection pieces outside. Discover the Arsenal and wander among tanks and airplanes. Commissioned by Heijmans, the museum's operator, a website was created for the online sale of tickets.
Goldmund, Wyldebeast + Wunderliebe realized part of the website's technology. The emphasis was on the implementation of the ticketing street and the connection with Recreatex. After delivery, Goldmund, Wyldebeast + Wunderliebe manages the NMM.nl website and is responsible for its continued development. The National Military Museum website is managed by the Defense Museums Foundation.
Our approach for the National Military Museum combined technical expertise with a deep understanding of the museum world. We developed a modular architecture that seamlessly integrates various systems, from ticketing to collection management. The focus was on creating a user-friendly interface that optimally supports both visitors and museum staff.
The technical implementation includes a robust stack with Django CMS as the foundation, PostgreSQL for data storage, and Elasticsearch for advanced search functionality. The integration with external systems such as Recreatex for ticketing and Ingenico for payments ensures a seamless user experience. The system is built with scalability and maintainability in mind.
The project is a great example where different parties come together. Heijmans, Royal Defense Museums Foundation, Fabrique, and Goldmund, Wyldebeast + Wunderliebe.
