How fascinating history can be if it is presented in a playful way, and even with musical accompaniment, thought the creators of the Children's Museum in Frankfurt am Main. Of course, adult visitors with children or without them are also welcomed here with open arms.
This unusual institution, which will turn your ideas about what a museum can be upside down, is located on the right bank of the Main in the Hauptwache district. The Kindermuseum is overseen by the local museum of local lore and history. For greater clarity and persuasiveness, history is told to young visitors not in the dry “adult” language of numbers and facts, but through role-playing games and musical performances, interactive toys, and simulated situations.
Interesting hands-on activities take place here all year round. They change along with the themed exhibitions organized especially for the young participants in the courses. During school holidays, the projects become even more interesting and intensive, because during the vacation period children have more time and energy left to visit the museum. Roman mythology or Napoleon's decisive battle, the Decembrist uprising or the construction of Egyptian tombs - all world history here is alive, vivid, and very colorful!
