Discover the museum park
Step into the past for a day and immerse yourself in traditions and crafts that were once part of everyday life. Wander past the historic buildings, chat to craftspeople and even try your hand at a craft yourself! In the park you will come across more than 100 authentic, unusual buildings dating back as far as two hundred years, each with its own fascinating history and an interesting story to tell.
Discover the park and the buildings
Celebrate 30 years of trams with us
Step aboard and take a journey through living history at the Dutch Open Air Museum! On 18 and 19 April, we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of the historic tram here at the museum.
In and around the tram depot, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look and learn how rails, points and electric traction work together. Historic transport also comes to life in the rest of the museum. Admire special landscape model railways for trains and trams, or get hands-on and build your own train track.
A weekend packed with tram activities!
