Winter break for the Open-Air Museum

The Open-Air Museum houses must remain closed in winter for conservational reasons. However, the open-air area entices the visitor to take a stroll. The museum will open every Sunday from 11am to 4pm until the end of March 2019.

That is why we have reduced entrance prices during the winter season: Adults 3 euros (reduced 1.50 euros).

In case of hard-packed snow and black ice, the museum remains closed. Our service team is happy to inform you of current changes.
