Discovering Roman Traces: A Family Experience for Young Researchers
On June 13, 2026, at 15:00, the Archaeological Museum Colombischlössle in Freiburg invites children aged 6 and up to a special time travel experience. In Children Lead Children: On Roman Soles, archaeology-enthusiastic children and teenagers from the cultural ambassador team guide young visitors through the Roman world of life along the Upper Rhine. Participation is limited; a free ticket secures the spot, and an additional museum entry ticket is required. Children may participate only when accompanied by an adult.

Through Children’s Eyes in the Roman Era
This family experience combines learning and wonder in a child-friendly way. The young guides conduct age-appropriate tours of the exhibition, opening doors to everyday objects, stories, and traces from the past. The museum itself features models and interactive stations that vividly illustrate historical living environments. This creates a learning experience that sparks curiosity and encourages family discussions. ([museen.freiburg.de](https://museen.freiburg.de/musees/arco-fr))
A Museum That Makes History Tangible
The Archaeological Museum Colombischlössle is located in the neo-Gothic villa at Rotteckring and guides visitors through millennia of regional history. In the collection, families encounter finds from the Stone Age, Roman antiquity, and the Middle Ages. Here, history is not abstract for children but vivid and engaging.

Safe, Accompanied, and Family-Friendly
For families, reliability counts: the format is clearly aimed at children aged 6 and older, and participation is tied to an accompanying adult. This ensures direction and safety during the visit. Those planning with children also benefit from the fixed ticket regulations and limited group size.

Practical for a Visit in Freiburg
The museum is located at Rotteckring 5 in 79098 Freiburg im Breisgau. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, and on Wednesdays until 7 PM.
