Museumdorp Orvelte: a village with separate places to visit

Orvelte is a village with museums, crafts, shops, cafés and restaurants. Walking freely through the village is not the same as getting access to all the buildings or demonstrations.

Plan your visit ↗

Choosing a route

The visitor information mentions the Bruntingerhof, the Jan Kruis Museum and the Ottenshoes, among others. Check in advance which subjects interest you and which locations are actually open that day.

Looking outside

The car-free village centre is best explored on foot. Buildings and farmyard layouts can prompt you to look up the explanations at a visitor centre, without having to go inside everywhere.

Each part has its own schedule

A general village schedule gives no certainty about a specific museum room. Demonstrations also have separate times and may be temporarily cancelled. So put your route together using current information for each address.

Before you go

Free access to the village is not a combined museum ticket. Check seasonal days, temporary closures and any theme days before you set off.
