The Open Air Museum is one of the largest in Europe. You will need to take some time to view the historical houses and exhibitions in the 110-hectare grounds. In order to stroll through the museum once, looking at things here and there, you need at least two hours, for the exhibition „We Rhinelanders“ another hour.
The museum is open every day of the year. Most visitors come at the weekends in summer, so that these are our busiest times. Mondays and Fridays are especially suitable for a quieter and deeper involvement with the museum.
Summer 29th March till 31st October: 9.00 a.m. - 6.00 p.m.
Winter 1st November till 30th March: 10.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m.
Admission until 1 hour before closing.

Der Bungalow Kahlenbusch ist das einzige Gebäude im Freigelände, das „in situ“, also an seinem ursprünglichen Standort verblieben ist. Als Gaststätte, geplantes Hotel, Bauruine und schließlich Museumsexponat ist er eines der ungewöhnlichsten Häuser im Gelände.
