For many years I do read a blog from Willy, a Dutch lady that lives in the Province where Pieter is born, in Gelderland/The Netherlands.
She is an excellent photographer and she visits the most interesting places.
Willy has been battling Leukemia and is back on track and we sure wish her a lot more time with her close travel companion and husband!
So I spotted on her blog: The open-air museum in Kommern - Het openluchtmuseum in Kommern and new it was the one we visited! Just click the link and yes, she has a translator on the side, a little down.
Hello Mariette, I have bumped into a number of these open-air museums, and it is nice to know they can be found in Europe too. Many of them recreate an historic village, some of the most famous in the U.S. being Williamsburg, Virginia or Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts.
ReplyDeleteTaiwan also has the very odd Cihu Park, which was the subject of one of my earliest posts:

Dearest Jim,
DeleteThank you for your visit and yes, in Europe you surely can find these and most I know are nice and authentic.
The U.S. has some interesting ones too, even Rawhide in Arizona was interesting with its jail and all. Did visit your Cihu Park post and that indeed was rather bizarre and way overdone.
Hugs,
Mariette
It looks like a wonderful open air museum. Looks very peaceful and there are many cute animals! I have visited open air museum and it was an interesting experience :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteIt was a perfect experience, like stepping back in time!
Also seeing those farm animals was wonderful, it made it all so real.
Glad to read that you too have been to an open air museum.
Hugs,
Mariette
Lindo. Amei conhecer. Amos essas casa alemãs. Aqui perto de nossa casa tem um museu parecido com esse da cultura italiana. Muito bonito
ReplyDeleteBjos quero lhes desejar um feliz natal e um novo ano cheio de alegrias e felicidades.
Querida Anajá,
DeleteAinda bem que você gostou disso e também é bom que você tenha um museu italiano a céu aberto por perto. Desejando a você e ao seu também um Feliz Natal e o melhor para 2021.
Abraços,
Mariette

This reminded me of the open air museum we saw in New Jersey.
ReplyDeleteDearest Joe,
DeleteThere are many around the world and it is always a great way to discover the culture of a region.
Hugs,
Mariette
Looks like it was a very nice place to visit and always lovely to have locals who are able to show you around. When this video was taken, I was just 10 days away from giving birth to my first son. :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteWow, what a history to go back... we treasure such images now, for looking back with fondness. Especially now when traveling is restricted or totally out of question.
It was a very nice place with excellent guidance!
All of them have been to the U.S. and Canada as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
I like the look of this museum but I like musems
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteSuch an open air museum is quite educational as you are actually walking back in time and LIVE it.
Hugs,
Mariette
E' bello ritrovare gli amici in internet.Buon giovedì.
ReplyDeleteCarissima Olga,
DeleteWilly è un meraviglioso amico blogger per molti anni!
Abbracci,
Mariette
How nice to have the video to look back on Mariette, I haven't come across an open air museum on my travels but I guess there is still time 😉
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
DeleteYes, this is really a treasure for looking back at!
You sure can find them!
Hugs,
Mariette
Museums are so under-rated. We learn a lot from museums.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Mariette.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteThat is oh so true, it is pure educational but nowadays the younger generation seems to get taught differently...
Hugs,
Mariette
