FAQ

The exhibition is aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 12 and their families as well as elementary school classes and after-school groups. The exhibition is designed to be inclusive and the texts are offered in German and English.

By means of original objects and activity stations the exhibition offers children a playful approach to history. In addition, there is a diverse programme of educative communication.

Children 10 years and older can visit the exhibition alone. But please be aware that the museum cannot assume responsibility for supervising the children, no matter what their age. Pedagogical personnel are available only for selected programmes. During the entire visit, the parents or guardians are responsible for supervising the children’s behaviour.

A visit to the exhibition should take around one-and-a-half hours.
