The 1999 expansion was designed by Benthem Crouwel, with interior redesign by Marijke van der Wijst to preserve the historic character. In 2021, new educational spaces were added and logistical improvements were made to optimize visitor flow. Digital tours were introduced as early as 2010 to make the museum more accessible. The museum's program includes educational projects for groups and schools, introductions prior to visits, special temporary exhibitions, and an international youth networking effort around Anne Frank.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The rooms in the Secret Annex exude the authentic atmosphere of that time through original objects, photographs, films and excerpts from Anne Frank's diary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Anne Frank House remains a place that keeps history alive and where the historical context surrounding persecution and discrimination receives emphatic attention.
