See and experience in the largest open-air museum of Rhineland-Palatinate how people lived, resided, and worked here over the last five centuries.
To make everyday life in the past as vivid and tangible as possible, over 40 historical houses have been dismantled stone by stone and wood by wood on-site over the last 30 years and authentically rebuilt in the 35-hectare area of the Rhineland-Palatinate Open-Air Museum. They are divided into four construction groups representing the different regions of Rhineland-Palatinate. The village blacksmith and watermill, merchant's shop and bowling alley, winegrower's and farmer's houses, and many other buildings invite you to an entertaining and informative journey into the past.
Active programs give all age groups the opportunity to immerse themselves in the everyday life of earlier times. The various action days, such as the big museum festival or the garden and plant day, also offer guests a wide range of attractions.
The museum restaurant takes care of your physical well-being with hearty specialties from the regional cuisine.
From June to August, including holidays and during the school vacations of Rhineland-Palatinate, the museum is also open on Mondays!
