Experience the past
The preHistorisch Dorp really comes to life during the weekends! Visit the museum on a Saturday or Sunday to let us surprise you with all you can discover here. One day you’ll meet a Viking, another day the hunter’s tent is inhabited by a real hunter. At Eindhoven’s best open-air museum, no day is the same!
Attention creatives! This weekend the preHistorisch Dorp will largely focus on making clothes. Throughout the museum you will encounter residents from different time periods who are involved in making various types of textiles. From spinning on the spinning wheel to weaving in the Artisan's house. Of course you can also get started yourself. For example, you can felt a bracelet from wool. Would you like to come and take a look?
There is more...
Our historical inhabitants will take you on a trip back in time. Enjoy their stories and get a feel for past atmospheres. Even real history buffs can always discover something new here.
During the weekends, there’s a tour with a guide every day at 1:30 PM starting at the medieval market square. This is the perfect opportunity to learn more about history and the museum and ask all of your questions. There are also two puppet shows every day.
Do you like to get active yourself? You can! We can, for example, teach you to make fire without matches, bake bread over a fire, or practice archery.
