Take a stroll in the park

From 16 January to 29 March 2012 the museum is open for you to enjoy as a park only. You can take a stroll through the park between 11 a.m. and 4.30 p.m. on any day of the week. During this period you will pay an adjusted entry price.

Holland in just one day

The Netherlands Open Air Museum uses authentic buildings, objects and true stories to bring the past to life.
Come with us on a journey through the last two hundred years. The museum, with its farmyards, farmhouses, cottages and businesses, farmer’s café and shops, is a hive of activity.

Back to the past
For young and old alike, a visit to the museum is an unforgettable experience. Feast your senses on stories, smells, flavours and images that will take you back to days gone by. Whatever your age, the living history will make a lasting impression, bringing back memories and astonishing you by turns. Immerse yourself in the past and get to know the Dutch people and their history.

 


Living memories

The museum lies in a beautiful park on the outskirts of the vibrant city of Arnhem. There’s so much to see. Meet museum staff who appear to have stepped straight out of the past. Proud of their heritage, they will inspire you with their stories.

Will your children help out on the activity farmyard, or would they rather play on the Zaan Square? Will you sample the Dutch pancakes, a hearty home-made soup or maybe those fresh currant buns from the baker? And will you travel on the historic tram or take a gentle stroll through time?
