What YOU Can Do: Hands-On Exhibition for Families in Neu-Ulm

A hands-on adventure for little explorers at the Children’s Museum Neu-Ulm

The exhibition What YOU Can Do at the Edwin Scharff Museum invites families to an exciting research journey into the world of activities. From June 9, 2026 to September 2026, children and adults will experience an exhibition that ignites curiosity, strengthens self-confidence, and places collaborative experimentation at its core.

Wonder, touch, try out

This is not about quiet observation, but a true family experience. Children playfully discover what their hands, their heads, and their ideas can do. In four theme areas, young visitors are allowed to tinker, feel, experiment, puzzle, and engage with their strengths. This makes learning tangible and transforms the museum visit into a lively learning experience.

Age-appropriate and child-friendly design

The exhibition is designed as a participatory format for families and engages children through action. The educational approach strengthens development, creativity, and independence. Particularly valuable: the themes connect everyday skills, language, craftsmanship, care, and creativity in such a way that children can experience and name their abilities playfully.

Safety, orientation, and family comfort

Important for families: The Children’s Museum operates with fixed time slots on weekends, holidays, and during school vacations. On weekdays, no reservation is needed on certain days. Children under 14 years can only visit the museum accompanied by an adult, and a maximum of three children may be taken per adult. Additionally, in the museum: shoes off, socks on. Changing tables, cloakrooms, lockers, elevators, and barrier-free access ensure a relaxed visit.

Perfect for a joint excursion

The Edwin Scharff Museum is centrally located in Neu-Ulm, near the train station and the city center. This makes the journey by bus, train, or car pleasant. Families benefit from the good accessibility, the inclusion café on-site, and the child-friendly exhibition rooms that invite them to linger.

Conclusion: This exhibition is a strong family experience for children who love to explore, try out, and believe in themselves. Anyone looking for meaningful time together filled with play and learning should experience What YOU Can Do live.
