Limburgs Openluchtmuseum Eynderhoof, museum in Nederweert-Eind, the Netherlands
Limburgs Openluchtmuseum Eynderhoof is an open-air museum in Nederweert where volunteers have relocated and reconstructed old buildings from the Peel region. The site contains homes, barns, workshops and a chapel, with craftspeople demonstrating traditional techniques such as pottery, blacksmithing and woodworking.
Founded in 1990, the museum shows life in the Peel region around 1900. Volunteers carefully dismantled buildings from their original locations and reconstructed them on site to preserve an authentic representation of how people lived during that era.
The name comes from a historic location in the Peel region. All the buildings are original structures from the surrounding area, showing how people in this part of Limburg built their homes and organized their daily lives.
The museum is open year-round except for a brief closure in November, with free or low-cost parking available. Most buildings are easily accessible, though some pathways are unpaved and comfortable shoes are recommended.
The museum is run by over 375 volunteers and receives no fixed government funding, instead relying on admission fees and donations. This unique funding model allows the site to maintain its own character and operate with direct community involvement.
