Nederlands Pluimveemuseum: the world of chicken and egg

The Nederlands Pluimveemuseum in Barneveld turns chicken and egg into a broad museum subject. The auction experience and trails give the visit different ways of looking and taking part.

Plan your visit ↗

A familiar subject magnified

An egg is an everyday thing, but the museum invites you to pause over it for longer. The presentation on poultry offers starting points for questions about the animals and the world around them, without needing any specialist knowledge in advance.

Experiencing the auction

The auction is a recognisable part of the offer. Check in advance whether the accompanying activity takes place at the time of your visit. For young visitors there are trails, which let you give your own task to looking around.

Out and about together

The museum lists facilities for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and rollators. Groups of more than twenty people must book in advance. Monday is normally closed, but national school holidays bring extra Mondays; so check the calendar for a holiday visit.

Before you go

Book in advance for a group of more than twenty and check the extra holiday openings.
