Bij Kato: pig farming past and present

The Nationaal Varkensmuseum is part of Bij Kato in Sint-Oedenrode. The display on pig farming belongs to the farm experience and combines viewing areas with a treasure hunt for children.

Then alongside now

The display brings together old and newer forms of pig farming. Choose one subject and see how the difference is explained. Which objects or images help? By comparing in a focused way, a broad subject such as agricultural history becomes easier to follow.

A treasure hunt as a viewing aid

Children can go exploring with a treasure hunt. Let them search on their own first and then discuss what they noticed. The tasks provide a starting point for questions about the animals and the work on a farm, without everyone needing the same prior knowledge.

Visiting on a Kato day

Public openings follow the Bij Kato days and additional holiday days. So the museum is not a separate location with its own daily schedule. Ask which parts of the farm experience are available on your chosen day and what is included in the visit.

Before you go

Check the Kato calendar and the current price. Packages require a booking; bringing your own food and drink is not permitted.
