Prehistomuseum

The Prehistomuseum is a museum in Flémalle that spans 30 hectares of forest and displays archaeological finds alongside reconstructions from the Stone Age. The site is divided into several areas where visitors encounter prehistoric tools, dwellings, and the world of early humans.

The museum was founded in 1990 as an academic project of the University of Liège and grew into a leading center for prehistoric research in Europe. From a university initiative, it became a recognized institution for scientific work and public education.

Visitors can practice ancient crafts like flint knapping, archery, and pottery making, gaining hands-on experience of prehistoric daily life. These hands-on activities bring the past to life and show how people managed their everyday tasks long ago.

The site covers a large area and requires proper footwear and weather protection, especially when exploring forest trails. Plan to spend adequate time to visit the different sections without rushing.

The site holds the Cave of Ramioul, a natural cave with its own archaeological history that is woven into the modern museum setup. This connection between original discovery location and contemporary presentation makes the place especially valuable for understanding genuine prehistoric contexts.
