By disseminating knowledge about the occupation years and the resistance struggle, the museum's founders wanted to strengthen the collective will to protect national freedom and otherwise contribute to continued strong support for our democratic values. In line with the museum's mission statement, which was continued when the museum was taken over by the state, knowledge of the occupation years will be strengthened through the museum's continued work with the collection, management and presentation of artefacts, images and documents. Preserving sources for future research on the history of the occupation years and the struggle for freedom is therefore still a central part of the museum's social mission.
