Learning through play, getting active

The Edwin Scharff Museum describes the Children's Museum as a place with changing experience exhibitions that are renewed annually. The current show is part of the museum's first own participatory exhibition and takes children on a research journey into the world of activities. This makes the visit particularly age-appropriate: children do not just observe; they act themselves, experiment, and experience self-efficacy.

The exhibition combines creative activities with a strong educational approach. The museum works with media stations, interactive zones, and educational offerings so that children and families can explore content playfully. According to the museum, it also offers a comprehensive educational program, and a time slot must be reserved for the Children's Museum on weekends, holidays, Wednesdays, and during school breaks.
