LiveARCH was: a network of archaeological open air museums. It is a part of the conceptual development of ICOM (International Council of Museums). Here EXARC, (then lead by Björn M Jakobsen, Geir Sör Reime and the enthusiast Roeland Paardekooper) with the help of EU funding, could further develop this branch of museums with reconstructed environments, actors in type typical clothing and interiors, actualisation and education using a new approach.
