A participatory exhibition that rethinks abilities

At the Children's Museum of the Edwin Scharff Museum in Neu-Ulm, the exhibition What YOU Can Do invites you on a research journey into the world of activities. The focus is not just on observation, but on trying out, thinking along, and doing together. The exhibition is aimed at children, families, and adults, and opens up a playful, thoughtfully curated environment for aesthetic experience, self-perception, and cultural education.

Four thematic rooms, many discoveries

The exhibition is divided into four thematic focuses that highlight intuitive activity. As visitors walk through the rooms, they encounter multisensory offerings that connect movement, language, craftsmanship, perception, and reflection. This creates an art experience that does not preach but encourages: Everyone brings their own strengths, and often the greatest impact unfolds in a team.

Playful exploration as a museum experience

Typical for the Edwin Scharff Museum is the connection between art museum and children's museum. The house understands exhibitions as a vibrant learning space. The strength of this show lies precisely in this: It makes activities visible that are often overlooked in everyday life and translates them into sensual stations full of materiality, color, movement, and surprising spatial effects. The result is an exhibition atmosphere that sparks curiosity and strengthens self-confidence.

A house with art historical significance

The Edwin Scharff Museum is dedicated to the painter, graphic artist, and sculptor Edwin Scharff, who was born in Neu-Ulm, as well as to the artist Ernst Geitlinger. At the same time, it is a place where the present and communication move closely together. The participatory exhibition connects to this attitude and demonstrates how museum education can look today: accessible, illustrative, participatory, and close to people.

Visit, atmosphere, and orientation

The exhibition is designed for a broad audience and is suitable for a family visit as well as for a spontaneous cultural appointment during the week. The rooms are carefully designed and invite a reflection on works in the extended sense: Not only artworks, but also processes, skills, and actions become the object of attention. Those who come will discover a museum that sparks the desire for one's own thinking and doing.

Conclusion: What YOU Can Do is an inspiring participatory exhibition that takes children and adults seriously and activates them in a smart, emotional, and playful way. Anyone who wants to connect art, culture, and creative self-experience should definitely experience this exhibit live in Neu-Ulm.
