On an exploration trip
Scout the museum’s small trails smelling smouldering fires and entering the houses, farms, and workshops. The residents you meet along the way will tell you all you want to know about their era. You can also enjoy all kinds of activities without the help of an inhabitant. And if you would like a little refreshment after all of this exploration, you can find this at the Inn Den Bonten Os at the medieval market square. It’s open daily to quench your thirst and satisfy your appetite.
Valuable workshops
Sometimes a group of children is here, participating in an educational program during the morning and early afternoon. Feel free to have a look, but please don’t disturb the program. It’s usually quiet in the museum starting from 2 PM. Every weekday, you can enjoy an interesting tour at 2 PM and at 3 PM there’s a different artisanal workshop. These workshops are a more extensive version of the regular activities you can do at the museum. They’re a valuable way to learn more about a craft and see how the techniques were applied exactly.
Extra tips
If you visit the museum on a weekday, you will receive our museum guide for free at reception. You can also opt for the free audio tour, which takes you past the many surprising places in our museum.
Do you want to be sure that you have not overlooked anything in the museum? Then follow the photo treasure hunt: with this treasure hunt you can look for the most beautiful and nice details of the preHistorisch Dorp. You can buy the photo scavenger hunt at the cash register during your visit for €3.
Do it yourself!
You can independently participate in historical activities at several places in the museum. How about writing with a quill pen, walking on stilts or making a coat of arms? By doing historical activities yourself, you experience the past with all your senses!
