Want want want want want ...

If in the Netherlands go here. I've linked directly to the map of the Archeon living history village. Follow the "Klik hier voor de gehele parkgids", to get a view of the place. 3 sections; one prehistoric; covering stone to bronze (they do bronze casting)and early iron age, one Roman (gorgeous BIG villa set up), and one medieval (definite village). Would love some commentary from someone who speaks dutch (their english pages weren't working/up yet), to see how cohearantly they come across in the text, but the buildings, gear and setup are amazing. It appears much larger than the Middelaltercentre in Denmark, with less of a focus on siege weapons and and a specific time period. Also unfortunately appears only open for part of the year and you need to pick your weekend so as not to get the North American Mid-west special events... But if you can, go to both.

Found out about because in responce to the iron smelting picture we put up, someone linked to some iron smelting photos from there, and if you follow the link on the second photo, to the Archeon photos, you see some very cool stuff. Set it on slideshow and drool...

Edit: And that is just one of the sets of Archeon photos. More here. About 4 Archeon sets. The closed buildings in the mist in the winter set are amazing.

The world needs more experimental museums...
