The Detmold Open-air Museum, or Westphalian Open Air Museum, is open seasonally, between April 1 and October 31. The museum is at Detmold, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Over 100 historic, rural buildings were transported and reconstructed from across the state, including schools, farmhouses, thatched cottages, and windmills. Over 200 acres (0.81 km²) of bucolic fields and ponds are available for horse-drawn carriage rides, walking tours, and picnicking. The museum also hosts special exhibitions and interactive craft demonstrations, such as blacksmithing and pottery-making.
