Story · Het Oertijdmuseum

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at the Oertijdmuseum in Boxtel, which roughly means the Prehistoric Museum. It's all about fossils, geology and, above all, dinosaurs. It used to be called De Groene Poort. Take a look at the back of the building. There's a glass hall twelve metres high, the Dinosaur Parade, opened in 2007. Through that glass you can sometimes catch a glimpse of the giants inside.
