National History Month

The annual National History Month, October 2019 for the sixteenth time, is proudly presented by the Dutch Open Air Museum. In 2012, the museum began coordinating the event and the network, aiming to fulfil a leading role in the national field of history. Doing so, The Dutch Open Air Museum creates a ‘history buzz’.
