The furnished Secret Annex
In the VR app, all of the rooms in the secret annex are furnished according to how it was when occupied by the group in hiding, between 1942 and 1944.
Everything was carefully built and modelled in 3D by Vertigo Games (Force Field Entertainment), the creators of the app.
Empty Secret Annex
In the actual museum, the secret annex is empty. After the eight people hiding in the house were found and arrested, the furniture was removed. Leaving the rooms of the secret annex empty was the wish of Otto Frank, Anne’s father.
