The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee is one of the four branches of the Netherlands Armed Forces often working within civil society. The Marechaussee operate as the border police, and also protect VIPs and certain properties. Alongside international and military tasks the Marechaussee assists the police in case of, for example, a terrorist threat or as part of a specialized investigation team.

The Side by side exhibition focuses on the 40-year anniversary of women joining the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee and the personal experience of female Marechaussee members working in what is often considered to be a man’s world.
