History around every corner in Limburg
Bokrijk
Step back in time at Bokrijk, Flanders' largest open-air museum. Over 120 historic buildings, forgotten crafts, old animal breeds and authentic craftsmanship come together in a living village. There's also a playground to end the day with the kids.
Be-Mine
Flanders' largest industrial heritage site, and it's nothing short of impressive. In Beringen, descend into a simulated mine shaft down to 800 metres, where generations of miners once earned their living. Then climb the slag heap for a sweeping view over a landscape still shaped by its mining history.
C-Mine
In Genk you'll find C-mine. C-mine combines industrial heritage with contemporary art and experience. The journey through underground tunnels and the climb up the authentic mine tower are experiences you'll be talking about for a long time.
Gallo-Roman Museum Tongeren
In Belgium's oldest city, dive over 300,000 years back in time at the Gallo-Roman Museum. From hand axes to gold coins from Ambiorix's era, the collection fascinates young and old. Lifelike figures, films and models bring a long-lost world close by. Winner of the European Museum of the Year Award.
Teseum Tongeren
In the shadow of the Basilica of Our Lady in Tongeren hides one of the richest church treasuries in the Low Countries. The Teseum reveals that treasure through interactive media, from medieval golden reliquaries to centuries-old artefacts long hidden behind monastery walls. History that shines, literally and figuratively.
GRAAF Experience Centre Borgloon
Until 1192, Borgloon was the capital of the County of Loon. At the GRAAF Experience Centre, that lesser-known but rich past comes alive in an interactive way. Knights, counts and medieval intrigue, the region's story finally gets the spotlight it deserves. A surprising find right in the heart of Borgloon.
