St. Martin's Lanterns: Creative Museum Fun for Kids in Freiburg

When children's eyes light up and a captivating story transforms into their own artwork, museum time becomes a special family experience. At the Saturday Museum for Kids at the Augustinermuseum, children aged 6 to 10 discover the story of Saint Martin and create their own St. Martin's lantern.

Discovering History and Sparking Curiosity

The starting point of the child-friendly program is a stained glass window in the Augustinermuseum. Together, the children explore how St. Martin is depicted and learn more about his story. The combination of art observation, storytelling, and hands-on activities creates an age-appropriate learning experience filled with wonder, questions, and their own ideas.

Getting Creative with Their Own Hands

After looking at the artwork, it gets practical: each child builds their own lantern. Cutting, designing, and assembling promote fine motor skills, concentration, and independent working. At the same time, the children experience how materials turn into a personal keepsake step by step. Thus, the family program combines learning fun with creative expression and children's laughter.

Calm Museum Atmosphere for a Special Learning Experience

The three-hour offer takes place regardless of the weather in the Augustinermuseum. The limited number of participants supports a focused and child-friendly atmosphere. If needed, families can bring something for the children to eat and drink. The meeting point is the museum's ticket desk.

Family-Friendly Conditions

The Augustinermuseum is accessible according to DIN 18040. An elevator and a wheelchair-accessible restroom are available. While the children participate in the program, adults can visit current exhibitions or stroll through downtown Freiburg.

Conclusion: A Lantern Experience with Lasting Memories

Children actively experience culture, discover a historical figure, and take home a self-made lantern. The offer is already sold out, but it impressively shows how lively and family-oriented museum education can be in Freiburg.
