Netherlands Open Air Museum
Nederlands Openluchtmuseum
Over a hundred old farmhouses, windmills and workshops from across the country have been rebuilt in the woods, with costumed staff bringing two centuries of everyday Dutch life to life.
The Open Air Museum was founded in 1912 and covers about 44 hectares. It has relocated farmhouses, windmills, workshops, trams and shops from across the Netherlands. Staff in traditional dress demonstrate bread baking, papermaking and clog-making. The Canon of the Netherlands gallery tells the story of Dutch history through 50 stories. An old-fashioned tram loops around the grounds, which makes it ideal for families. Admission is about €24, and you should allow at least four hours.
Opening hours
About 10:00–17:00 (shorter in winter)
