Family Afternoon: Hats Off! brings creative learning fun to the Museum of Nature and Man
At the Family Afternoon Hats Off! children aged 6 and older and their accompanying adults experience a diverse museum afternoon in Freiburg. The focus is on the exhibition Completely Unfair!, where families discover the significance of Indonesian cone hats made of rice straw and then create their own colorful straw hats. The offer is already sold out, but remains a strong example of a child-friendly family experience with educational value.

Discover, understand, create
The Family Afternoon connects observation and participation in a way that piques children's curiosity and gives parents quality time together. The content is age-appropriate: First, it’s about the cultural significance of the Capings in Java, then about the creative work with the model of these hats. This creates a learning experience that combines natural history, ethnology, and creativity.

Safe and family-friendly in the museum
The Museum of Nature and Man is well-suited for families because it is accessible, wheelchair-friendly with an elevator, and has a wheelchair-accessible restroom. The event location is centrally located in Freiburg at Gerberau 32 and is also easily reachable by public transport. Important for families: Children can only participate when accompanied by an adult.

Why this family afternoon is educationally valuable
The program promotes observation, fine motor skills, and understanding of cultural contexts. Children aged 6 and older experience how an everyday object becomes a symbol with societal significance. At the same time, creating their own straw hats invites them to experiment independently. This combination of knowledge, creativity, and shared time makes the Family Afternoon special.
