As soon as you enter the characteristic Schultehuis in Diever, you stand eye to eye with an impressive mammoth and her cub. A reference to the distant past when the mammoth lived in this area, as the discovery of bone remains have proven. Once inside, you go on an expedition through the various eras, from the last ice age and the Neanderthals to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Many of the archaeological finds were found locally and show how people used to live and work in our primordial province. Dioramas, videos and interactive play elements make it a true experience for young and old.
