Openluchtmuseum Het Hoogeland: the village as a museum route

Openluchtmuseum Het Hoogeland in Warffum presents living and working through a collection of buildings. As a result, you look not only at individual objects but also at the spaces in which they have been placed.

Plan your visit ↗

From door to door

Start by choosing a limited number of buildings rather than trying to cover the whole route straight away. Look at how the furnishings suit the function of a room. What questions does a home raise that you would not ask in a workplace or school building?

School and home

The museum mentions a school building and a schoolmaster’s house. Ask whether both are open on the day of your visit. The combination gives you a concrete reason to look at different daily activities side by side.

The outdoors is part of it

Walking between the buildings is part of this type of museum. Look too at how the buildings are positioned in relation to one another and at the route you follow. In between, take time to think back to one interior before you enter the next building.

Before you go

The winter schedule is more limited. Brick-paved paths and some buildings call for extra care if you use a wheelchair or rollator; ask about a suitable route.
