brewery
(#12.4, on the left), where you can duck inside for a free sample.
Just beyond, on the left, look for the...
Four Laborers' Houses
(#12.5): These houses offer a fascinat-
ing glimpse into the lifestyles of four generations of workers: from
1870, 1910, 1954, and 1970. See how home fashion and amenities
progressed from the rustic 1870s to the garish 1970s.

hospital
on the left (#12.9), from
1955, really does smell like a hospital. Next, the long
collection center
(#13.8) shows of a mind-numbing array of Dutch bric-a-brac, with
futuristic exhibits about recycling and conservation. Just beyond it is a

At the Arnhem Open-Air Folk Museum
The park has several good budget restaurants and covered picnic
areas. he
café
in the entrance pavilion is inexpensive but has lim-
ited choices (€3.50 sandwiches)—it's more enjoyable to eat inside
the park. The rustic
Pancake House
(Pannekoeken Huis, a.k.a.
“Restaurant de Hanekamp”) serves hearty and sweet, splittable
Dutch flapjacks (€6-9 pancakes, soups, salads, and sandwiches).
Brabant Café,
in the “village” of Budel, resembles an old-fashioned
farmhouse café. The
De Kasteelboerderij Café-Restaurant
at the
Oud-Beijerland Manor is a giant place that can feed 300 visitors
at once (traditional €8
dagmenu,
or plate of the day; open daily
July-Aug, otherwise Sun only).
