Wild People, Unicorns and Fried Eggs: Creative Family Fun at the Augustinermuseum

Wild People, Unicorns and Fried Eggs: Families Discover the Treasure Chamber

An exciting family afternoon at the Augustinermuseum Freiburg invites children aged 5 and their accompanying adults to an imaginative journey of discovery. On Sunday, October 18, 2026, families will explore the artistic treasure chamber from 14:00 to 16:00 and encounter wild figures, mysterious unicorns, and surprising everyday scenes.

With Curious Eyes Through the Treasure Chamber

How many unicorns are hiding on the precious carpets? And what is Joseph cooking for the Holy Family? Such questions make the museum visit a lively family experience. Children will view selected artworks, search for special details, and develop their own ideas about the stories visible in the images and textile works.

Discovering Art and Engaging in Conversation

The family afternoon combines child-friendly mediation with shared time. By looking closely, children train their perception, verbal expression, and imagination. The age-appropriate engagement with historical image motifs creates a playful learning experience where children's questions explicitly belong to the exploration.

Weaving in the Studio

After the tour, families move to the studio. There, through their own weaving, a creative access to the materials and techniques previously observed in the museum is developed. Threads, colors, and patterns invite experimentation. Thus, the museum visit becomes a practical experience filled with learning fun, children's laughter, and visible personal results.

Well Prepared for Families

The event is aimed at families with children aged 5 and older. Children can only participate when accompanied by an adult. The meeting point is the foyer in the House of the Graphic Collection. The venue is wheelchair accessible and features a wheelchair-friendly access via elevator, as well as a wheelchair-accessible restroom.

Conclusion: A Creative Afternoon Full of Wonder

Wild figures, unicorns on carpets, and collaborative weaving make this family afternoon a special connection of art, imagination, and personal creativity. Those looking for a varied, pedagogically stimulating, and child-friendly event in Freiburg will experience shared time with many moments of discovery at the Augustinermuseum.
