An artistic experience that fosters self-confidence and sparks curiosity
At the Children's Museum of the Edwin Scharff Museum in Neu-Ulm, the hands-on exhibition What YOU Can Do invites playful exploration beyond classical distance. The exhibition, which is on display until September 13, 2026, focuses on skills, everyday competencies, and creative processes, transforming the museum visit into an aesthetic experience for participation.

Amidst wood shavings, word games, and lively ideas
The exhibition leads through a landscape of hands-on stations where building, experimenting, organizing, telling stories, and discovering take place. According to the museum, a woodworking shop, language games, and spaces for practical tasks are among the offerings; the exhibit does not inquire about right or wrong, but rather about ability, curiosity, and courage to one's own perception. More than 45,000 visitors have already taken advantage of the offer. ([edwinscharffmuseum.de](https://edwinscharffmuseum.de/en/))
Museum education with immediate impact
The Edwin Scharff Museum sees the Children's Museum as a place of cultural education where research and experience belong together. The arts museum and children's museum are connected through media stations and interactive zones; thus, the principle of playful exploration also shapes the exhibition culture of the house. For families, this provides a particularly accessible entry point to art, space, and self-perception. ([edwinscharffmuseum.de](https://edwinscharffmuseum.de/ueber-das-museum/))
A house with an art-historical profile
The Edwin Scharff Museum is dedicated to the sculptor, painter, and graphic artist Edwin Scharff, born in Neu-Ulm, who is one of the most significant German sculptors of the first half of the 20th century. The art museum is complemented by the work of Ernst Geitlinger, a pioneer of geometric abstract art in Germany. This connection of Classical Modernism, sculpture, and mediation gives the house a special authority. ([edwinscharffmuseum.de](https://edwinscharffmuseum.de/ueber-das-museum/?utm_source=openai))
