Archäologisches Freilichtmuseum

Museum/Exhibition

The Oerlinghausen Open-Air Archaeological Museum brings prehistory to life!

From the summer camp of Ice Age reindeer hunters to the early medieval farmstead, you can get an impression of prehistoric everyday life in six large building groups. In the experimental gardens, visitors can experience the relationship between people and the environment of their time. In addition, back-bred medieval grazing pigs and goats are kept in special enclosures.

A wide-ranging program of demonstrations and activities also awaits you during the season.
