All important info for the on-site visit
One of the most unusual attractions in Eindhoven is the replica of a prehistoric village, complete with dwellings and demonstrations of skills used by prehistoric people. The open-air museum recreates life from this and later eras, including Roman and early medieval.
At the preHistorisch Dorp, interpreters dressed in historical clothes bring the history of this province to life, going about everyday tasks and interacting with visitors in programs and workshops. These might include learning to make a fire as prehistoric people did, baking bread on a stick, or learning how to make a Roman fibula (garment pin). Prehistoric farming methods, hand weaving and spinning, metalwork, and other skills are demonstrated and discussed here. Its an experience for all ages.
