The Miniature Landscape Museum in Beek-Ubbergen, near Nijmegen, offers visitors a compact tour of ten Dutch landscapes. Its outdoor displays feature miniature polders, hedges, roads and rivers, while full-size peacocks and hens roam among them, sometimes knocking over a miniature tractor.
The museum is located in the Wylerberg area, which was German until the Netherlands annexed it after World War II. Although most Dutch postwar annexations were later reversed, Wylerberg remained part of the Netherlands. The site is now home to a foundation that works to restore cultural landscapes—environments shaped by human activity, which make up much of the country.
Inside Villa Wylberberg, visitors can learn about the German family that commissioned the expressionist-style house, as well as badgers and other inhabitants of Dutch cultural landscapes. The museum advises checking its website for opening hours, which are limited.
