A participatory exhibition about talents, curiosity, and self-efficacy

At the Children's Museum of the Edwin Scharff Museum in Neu-Ulm, “What YOU Can Do” invites you on a research journey into the world of activities. The exhibition is aimed at children, families, and anyone who enjoys a lively art experience with playful insights.

A room full of possibilities

The exhibition is designed as an open experiential space: it's about craftsmanship, care, language, and creativity. At participatory stations, in the woodworking shop, at light tables, and in sonic play areas, observing turns into active working, experimenting, and reflecting. The exhibition atmosphere focuses on immediate aesthetic experience rather than mere viewing.

Doing it yourself instead of just participating

The Children's Museum sees visitors as explorers of their own abilities. Those who join beams, arrange words, perform tasks, or trigger sound sequences experience the exhibition as concentrated engagement in a practical sense: not passing by the object but being right in the action. This is precisely the strength of this curated participatory exhibition.

Museum education with depth

“What YOU Can Do” combines cultural education with a sensitive invitation to self-perception. The stations make it tangible that talent comes in many forms and that learning unfolds through experience, body, and language. The museum demonstrates how a children's museum can operate today: inclusive, sensory, and simultaneously professionally grounded.

A visit that resonates

Those who visit this exhibition encounter not a classic showcase, but a place of lively discovery. “What YOU Can Do” encourages, broadens the perspective on one's own abilities, and offers families an inspiring shared art experience. A visit is absolutely worthwhile – especially live in the museum, where space, materials, and interaction can fully unfold their effect.
