Nederlands Openluchtmuseum

About

The Netherlands Open Air Museum in Arnhem is a living history experience that invites visitors to step back in time across four centuries of Dutch culture. Spread over 44 hectares, the museum showcases authentic buildings—farmhouses, windmills, churches, and more—relocated from all over the Netherlands. Guests can wander the grounds, watch craftspeople demonstrate traditional skills, and enjoy seasonal festivals such as the Winter Carnival, Chinese New Year celebrations, and a lively Crafts Fair. A tram tour circles the park, offering a whimsical ride through historical scenery. Whether you’re a family, history enthusiast, or art lover, the museum provides engaging exhibits, hands‑on workshops, and a chance to connect with the past in a lush, green setting. The museum is open daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm in the regular season, extending to 6:00 pm during weekends and holiday periods. During the winter season (6 December – 18 January) the opening hours shift to 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, with extended hours to 6:00 pm on weekends and public holidays. The museum remains closed on 25 December, 1 January, 24 December, and 31 December. Admission varies by day and age group: adults pay €20 on weekdays and €24 on weekends, while children (4–12) pay €15 on weekdays and €17.50 on weekends; infants up to 3 years enter free.
