1. Welcome to Los Hoes

Welcome to the Museumfabriek’s audio tour, “Los Hoes: Farm Life in Twente”!

On this tour, we’ll talk about farm life in Twente starting around 1100 A.D.

You'll learn how people lived, what they ate and drank, what their main activities were, and much more.

You can explore Los Hoes using a QR code and your cell phone. Use headphones, or read the text at your own pace on your screen.

On your cell phone, you decide how much you want to hear. Just press a button to move on to the next story.

The whole story takes about 30 minutes. If you want to know more, you can read or view additional information, such as photos or videos. Sometimes there’s extra background information available via the “More Info” button or by going to the “Atlas van Ooit.”

We'll start by discussing the origins and construction of Los Hoes. Later, we'll explain, among other things, where the name Los Hoes comes from.

Have fun!
