Prehistoric Week

During Prehistoric Week, you will experience how people lived thousands of years ago. Throughout the year, you can discover the prehistory of the Netherlands at Archeon, but during this week you dive even deeper into it. Enjoy many demonstrations and get hands-on with prehistoric objects and tools.

Watch how fish was prepared in the Mesolithic period as it was done in the past, or discover how fish skins and leather were tanned. Bake your own bread on a stick over a crackling campfire and see the process of wool dyeing in the Iron Age.

Come and experience how our ancestors lived, worked, and played thousands of years ago. Watch demonstrations of leather tanning, bread making, and flint knapping. Dare to take on the challenge yourself by sailing in a dugout canoe, grinding grain, baking bread, and making fire!

Free admission with the Museum Card and VriendenLoterij VIP Card.
Program subject to change.
