PreHistoric Village: history comes to life

Are you ready to travel through time? At the preHistorisch Dorp in Eindhoven, you’ll have the chance not just to look at history, but to truly be part of it!

Here, it’s not about “look but don’t touch.” This isn’t a museum where you simply walk past two-dimensional paintings; it’s a historical adventure you can taste, smell, and experience!

No boring lectures, just a real journey through time!

From archery like a true Viking to felting wool, in this interactive open-air museum, you literally step into the past. And the best part? The museum's residents, the ‘historical guides’ in authentic costumes, are ready to teach you all about the old customs and take you on an adventure.

And let’s not forget about the exciting events held throughout the season. Think Viking festivals, witch hunts, and artisan markets. Every season brings new, thrilling themes that you can’t miss. So, check the website before planning your adventure!

Hey, did you know?

Become a real archaeologist! In the museum park, you’ll find the ArcheoFactory, a modern lab where you can experience firsthand what the latest technologies can uncover about the past. Here, you’ll learn how archaeologists work and how you can even create your own reconstruction of history!
