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!
A weekend full of surprises
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.
Are you in need of a refreshment during or after your time travel? The Inn Den Bonten Os, located on the market square, is open daily to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger.

Route and Parking
You can park your car for free at the preHistorisch Dorp. There is plenty of space for cars in front of the Leeuw Trainingscentrum at Boutenslaan 161. From there you can reach our museum within a few minutes' walk. Preferably do not park your car in the neighborhood.
Is the parking lot full? Then park at Anton Coolenlaan 5. From here you can have a nice 15 minutes walk through the Genneper Parks to arrive at the museum. Along the way you will pass green meadows and wooded environments.
