People of all ages can learn 15,000 years of history in and around Eindhoven in the preHistorisch Dorp (Prehistoric Village) in Eindhoven. Go back to bygone times and discover how the first farmers went about their work, what the Romans did while they were here or how you would go hunting in prehistoric times. “Fantastic, you experience history in the making. Great not only for the kids but also worthwhile for adults!” , commented Maaike, an enthusiastic previous visitor. In addition to families with children, many expats also visit the preHistorisch Dorp. It’s probably the only museum in the Netherlands where you’re allowed to get dirty. Is there any better way to learn about the history of Eindhoven and Brabant…!?

You will come across many historic inhabitants as you take a tour of discovery in the preHistorisch Dorp. You will find these ‘time guides’ in the back yards, farmhouses and artisan houses from their own period. They will guide you round, dressed in traditional costume, and tell you stories and show you what people used to do. They will help you get involved with various types of historic activities, such as making fire, archery, blacksmithing, javelin throwing, pottery or weaving. History only really comes to life during the much talked about weekends at the preHistorisch Dorp, which attract enthusiasts from far and near. Come and take a look!

The preHistorisch Dorp was voted the most child friendly museum in North Brabant numerous times.
