Roughly one million people visit the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam each year –
the maximum possible number. For various reasons, not everyone can visit the house:
they live too far away or are hindered by their physical condition. And because of limited space, only a fraction of the complete collection can be shown in the museum.

The Secret Annex Online is a 3D version of the house at Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam where Anne Frank lived in hiding during World War II. In this three-dimensional online environment, visitors can explore the front of the house and the secret annex as they were during the period of hiding, and hear stories that explain in greater depth what happened there. It presents events during the period of hiding in a series of stories. Both the popular and authoritative editions of the diary have been used as source material, as have reports by witnesses from the Anne Frank House archives. Extensive research of film and photographic archives has helped create the audio and video stories. Ambient sound and music accompany the narration.
Since its launch late in 2010, more than 4 million people have visited the Secret Annex Online. 48% of them have come from outside Europe, including countries such as Chile, China and the Philippines, whose inhabitants had not visited any of the Anne Frank House websites on a larger scale before. Visitors will stay in the house for an average of a little over 13 minutes.
