What's there to do?
There is always something extraordinary to do at the preHistorisch Dorp. Chopping wood, throwing spears, baking bread, and many other historical activities. And do not forget to peek into the many houses where the villagers can tell you all about how life used to be in the past. And there is more…
Every day at the preHistorisch Dorp is special. But there are occasions when extraordinary things occur. Like weekends when hundreds of Vikings come to visit. Or when you can immerse yourself in the colourful history of the fashion we now wear every day. And do not miss the chance to taste the food and drink of the past.
The ArcheoFactory
In the middle of the museum you'll discover a modern lab: the ArcheoFactory. A place in the museum park where you can discover the past for yourself using the latest archaeological techniques. Choose an archaeological dig when you come in and delve into everything you can research about it. This way you will find out all about archaeology and how archaeologists go from an object to a story.
You can also visit the Archeokar to find out more about some special archaeological finds. Bonus: you can even touch some of them when accompanied by one of our inhabitants.
English-speaking visitors
Our signs, the audio tour, and the museum guide are all available in English and most of our time guides speak English.
