DAF Museum

Reviewed By O7746XIdavide - Limerick, Ireland

For all transport buffs and people who enjoy going back in time to the old days of classic vehicles, this museum is ideal. Also children will like it too as they can climb in some of the vehicles and there is a childrens area. Well worth the money in my opinion.Only sorry the bar was shut on the day I visited.

preHistorisch Dorp

The preHistorisch Dorp in Eindhoven is the replica of a prehistoric village, complete with dwellings and demonstrations of skills used by historic people. The open-air museum recreates life from this and later eras, including Roman and early medieval. Find out how the Romans lived, meet militant Batavians, visit farmers from the Iron Age and go on a hunt in the prehistoric times. At the preHistorisch Dorp, interpreters dressed in historical clothes bring the history of this province to life, going about everyday tasks and interacting with visitors in programs and workshops. These might include learning to make a fire as prehistoric people did, baking bread on a stick, or learning how to make a Roman fibula (garment pin). Prehistoric farming methods, hand weaving and spinning, metalwork, and other skills are demonstrated and discussed here. Although very engaging for children, this is an experience for all ages.

Breda's Begijnhof Museum

Reviewed By stephencU6786JM - Belfair, United States

The Begijnhof is a beautiful spot for a short visit. I was there during the winter, so the gardens were dormant, but I imagine it's amazing during spring and summer. It's easy to walk past and miss the gateway, but there's a lot of local information to let you know exactly where to find it. It's quiet and peaceful, and has a very interesting history going back for centuries. There's a small museum (2 Euro entry cost) with a short video available in both English and Nederlander languages. The museum shows how the Beguins lived when the Begijnhof was still active. You don't need to enter the museum just to visit the grounds, though. The grounds are open for visiting, but be aware that women do still live in the apartments, and quiet wandering is appreciated. The chapel is not open to walk into, but you can step inside the door and look through a glass partition to see it. It's quite lovely.

Museum Bevrijdende Vleugels

Reviewed By 83jonf - Wonersh, United Kingdom

A fantastic museum in a great setting with cafe and play park attached for young kids. The museum has a huge selection of exhibits that are well laid out and seem to get better and better as you walk through. Only let down is lack of english descriptions on most displays but still worth a visit.

Museum Klok & Peel

Museum Klok & Peel shows in a unique way how the Groot Peel National Park, a nature reserve bordering the Dutch provinces of Brabant and Limburg, has developed in the past ten thousand years. The museum also houses the world’s largest collection of bells and carillons. An unusual combination, maybe, but not when you realise that Asten is also home to the famous Eijsbouts Bell Foundry which recently supplied the huge carillon for Notre Dame in Paris. So come and enjoy both natural and cultural history in “the most hospitable and accessible museum in the Netherlands”, according to the Dutch motoring organisation ANWB. “A unique combination of culture and nature!” A visit to Klok & Peel offers a complete day out for all ages. There are plenty of hands-on learning activities for families with young children. Culture lovers will appreciate the extensive collection of bells and carillons. You will also learn a lot about the craft of bell casting and tuning. Nature lovers can delight themselves with the very detailed foxes’ den, a collection of fossils and an impressive mammoth skeleton. The museum displays the rich flora and fauna of these wetlands, in which culture and people take a central role. Location The museum is also an ideal stopping-off place for walkers and cyclists, with recharging points for electric bikes and cycle repair kits. Cycle along the ‘Peel-ommetjes’ (detour routes) or follow the ‘Spreukenpad’ (path of proverbs) where a trail of bronze plaques leads you past the loveliest parts of Asten. The museum is also close to Attractiepark Toverland and within half an hour you can get to the Vincentre in Nuenen or the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven. “Amazing, more people should see and experience this!” With audio tours in English and German, and being under five kilometres from the A67 motorway, the museum is easily accessible for foreign visitors. That’s great for enthusiastic visitors because, for some people, one visit is just not enough: “We’ve already been here a couple of times and each time it has been just what we were looking for.”
