The Living past of the Netherlands
In Archeon there are 43 buildings rebuild from archeaological findings in and around the Netherlands.
The buildings are inhabited by our Archeo-translators. These people dress like our ancestors and a small chat or one of our numerous activities with them will bring history closer than you ever imagined.
In Archeon you can experience daily life in three periods of history:
The Prehistory (6000 years B.C. - 12 B.C.)
The Roman Period (12 B.C. - 406 A.D.)
The Middle Ages (approx. 1350 A.D.)
All 43 buildings in Archeon (gates, bridges, Roman Inn, huts, temples, monastery, farmhouses and medieval guild houses) are full-size reconstructions of archaeological finds in the Netherlands. The reconstructions are inhabited by so-called ‘Archeo-interpreters’. They re-create the past with as much authenticity as possible.
