A full-scale replica of the secret annex where Anne Frank penned her famous diary has opened in New York City.

The secret annex – one of the most famous dwellings in history, thanks to Frank’s best-selling published diary – can now be explored remotely, in New York.

Dutch set designers spent months poring over Frank’s diaries and sourcing vintage furniture from the Netherlands for NYC exhibit.

Anne Frank House is bringing a recreation of the Secret Annex—where Anne Frank and her family hid during the Holocaust—to New York.

The entire installation aims to examine Anne Frank’s life — and death — with a scope not often found in other treatments of this chapter in history.

“Anne Frank: The Exhibition” features a replica of the hidden annex where eight Jewish people, including Anne and her family, lived for two years between July 1942 and August 1944 before they were discovered and sent to death camps.

The Anne Frank House, in partnership with the Center for Jewish History, unveiled the world premiere of Anne Frank The Exhibition in New York City on Monday, coinciding with International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

The Anne Frank annex recreation at the Center for Jewish History offers a rare opportunity for visitors unable to travel to Amsterdam where 1.2 million people visited the Anne Frank House in 2023. Demand for tickets to the New York exhibit is high, with weekend tickets already sold out through the exhibition’s April 30th closing date.
