Detective Birthday Party: The Secret of the Shining Trail
Watch out, there’s a crime scene! The museum was robbed of a mysterious object. Who can preserve the traces and explain them? This requires true sleuths who are able to think for themselves, puzzle over things and observe well. You will be busy with forensic equipment and have to help solve the case with unusual ideas. You will come across strange places with dark corridors, you will come upon furtive glances and enigmatic messages. But beware! Some clues lead to a dead end. Who knows if the Native American medicine woman, the magic figures from Africa, the mummy of the priest or the eerie masks from the South Seas tell the truth? In the darkness the solution of the case is suddenly within reach…

Working with Wood and Knives: The art of carving
This birthday party is a hands-on experience! The starting point is a large-scale object of the museum: the House Rauru, a so-called meeting house of New Zealand’s Maori. It consists of numerous artistic carvings, which depict entire legends and myths.
Together we will explore symbols, patterns and stories on the house’s walls. Then we get going: you will be carving yourself. We begin with the basic skills of carving, e.g. the curved cut, chip and V-carving. The children can take their own works back home – and in the future continue to refine their skills!
Maximum number of participants:
8.
Duration:
180 minutes, Super Birthday.
Booking number with the Museumsdienst:
MR 318.
Intended age group:
8 to 14 years.

Since real carving knives are used, the number of party guests is limited to 8.
The birthday party includes a break, and you are asked to bring food and drinks.
It is vital that the parents / chaperones accompany the group the whole time.
Per child there are € 2 material expenses, to be paid directly to the executive art educator.
Unfortunately, this offer can only be booked again from October.
Reis und neun Köstlichkeiten. Kochen für Geburtstagskinder
This looks delicious! We are heading to the exhibition Uri Korea: food stands, a restaurant with a table bell and a kimchi refrigerator give us an insight into the food culture(s) of Korea. Afterwards we will take action together: have you ever prepared a Korean dish? We will peel, chop and cook together, make place cards, write our names in Hangeul, the Korean alphabet – and when the table is beautifully set, everyone can feast on the treats they have put together for themselves. And since you eat with your eyes, too, we will also have a go at decorating rice balls for the specially composed Dosirak lunch box.
