Workshops for kindergartens/daycare centers

My favorite toy

Bring your favorite toy to the museum. We'll talk about what you like about it and what you like to do with it. What do you think children used to play with? We look at a very, very large toy that is here in the museum. It tells us a lot about people from almost 300 years ago. Finally, we make our own dress-up dolls.

Guided tours for school classes

We will make things from two important Offenbach materials, namely small leather bags and fragrant, decorated soaps, which you can then keep or give away in the bag you have made yourself.

Thanks to funding from the Cultural Foundation of Städtische Sparkasse Offenbach am Main, it was possible to have the "Mobile Museum" specially designed to meet the needs of educational work. In addition, our instant cameras are frequently used in many projects. We were also able to purchase these with their kind support.
