Bokrijk Domain is a complex situated between Genk and Hasselt. It comprises a vast Open Air Museum and an Adventure Park. The Open Air Museum is the reconstruction of a 19th century countryside village. Also is the largest open-air playground in Flanders.

The domain also hosts vast public gardens, an important botanical garden (arboretum), and miles of walking routes and bicycle lanes. There are 148 authentic buildings that form the heart of the heritage collection. Also in the collection are some 30,000 pieces of everyday life from the 17th century to 1950. It has been designed to be interactive and includes staff who take on the roles of people from different periods. The oldest building dates back to 1507. The museum's preserved buildings are grouped in three clusters on the site which are arranged by their region of origin:

1. "The Kempen"

2. "East and West Flanders"

3. "Haspengouw and the Maasland"
