The Story of George
A hero we’ll never forget
Who was George Maduro? And why is Madurodam named after him? Meet a true war hero: brave, clever, and someone who never gave up. This isn’t a made-up superhero, George was real.
From the tropics to the frontlines
As soon as you step inside, you’ll see the house where George was born full of the warmth and colours of the island where he grew up: Curaçao. It’s beautiful… but the real adventure begins when you walk a little further.
Wow! A giant 5-meter-high screen
Take a seat in the theatre and get ready to be amazed by a huge screen. Watch George’s story come to life: how he fought for our country, helped others, and did something incredibly brave. It’s thrilling and truly moving.
Walk in George’s footsteps
After the film, follow the path to Villa Dorrepaal, a place full of memories. Stop for a moment at the memorial plaque to reflect. George may be gone, but his story lives on, forever.
