WELCOME TO Archeon Museum Park

Archeon contains 43 reconstructions of buildings, farms and huts that once stood in the Netherlands and that have been reconstructed according to archaeological excavations. Our Archaeo-interpreters live in these houses and thus show life from prehistory, Roman times and the Middle Ages. In original clothing they tell beautiful stories from history.

Exhibition by Philip van der Zee
The paintings of Philip van der Zee are exhibited on the 1st floor of the Archeology House. In Archeon, Philip is known as a prehistoric shaman, medieval storyteller and musician (Flemish bagpipes and horns) and Viking skald. At the Midwinter Fair in Archeon he organized the Sun Wheel ceremony, of which the altarpiece, the totem pole, can be seen. His work as a shaman is not limited to prehistory. Philip has been a time traveler from the very first hour of Archeon. Other dimensions are traveled in the paintings. We see works based on runes, sacred geometry and magical numbers. There are QR codes at the exhibition that you can scan and see and hear a little explanation from Philip about the paintings.
