Children’s Birthday Parties

A Birthday Workshop About Spending Time Together Over Drinks and Pastries

In the mood for a special birthday party? At MARKK, it’s all about cozy breaks, sweet treats, and exciting stories: What exactly is “fika” in Sweden? Why do some people in Argentina drink mate from a special cup? And what makes the Japanese tea ceremony so special?

Together, we’ll look at beautiful and fascinating items from the museum and talk about how people in different countries spend time together. Over tea, coffee, or mate, with something sweet on the side. It’s all about being together, enjoying each other’s company, and sometimes even rituals with spiritual significance. Finally, it’s time to get creative: Using foam rubber, glitter stones, and colorful craft supplies, we’ll make imaginative cakes to take home—no baking required, but lots of fun!

During this visit, you’ll meet Manu, the talking bird, who will guide you through the exhibition “Pippi’s Dad and the Real True Story from the Pacific.” Manu tells the gripping story of a country on his home planet, Earth, whose inhabitants once undertook long journeys across the sea to obtain a special fruit. But some became so obsessed with this fruit that they destroyed their environment and oppressed other people.

Join this program and find out what this mysterious fruit is. Was it perhaps a magical fruit? And who were the people who sailed across the sea for months to get it? What country did they come from?

The program includes a visit to the exhibition and a creative workshop where children can make masks of mythical animals under the guidance of an experienced artist. All children who would like to dress up as mythical creatures are welcome!

Do you love K-pop and are fascinated by Korean pop culture? Do you enjoy dancing and singing? Then we have the perfect birthday program for you!

Discover the world of K-pop in a whole new way and unleash your creative side. Start with an exploration of the visual world of K-pop and learn how to bring it to life through illustration and typography. Create impressive works of art that reflect your passion for K-Pop.

Afterward, our innovative dance machine awaits you, ready to teach you the most famous K-Pop dance moves, accompanied by hits from artists like Blackpink and BTS. If you’re in the mood to sing, you can show off your talent and celebrate in our karaoke booth!

Show your passion for K-Pop by creating your own K-Pop Star Badge. This unique accessory will proudly represent you as a true fan. Experience the diversity of Korean pop culture: In addition to the creative activities, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the “Uri Korea” exhibition. Immerse yourself in Korean culture and broaden your horizons.

Join us and experience K-pop and Korean culture like never before. The guided tour portion of the “Uri Korea” exhibition—which features the dance machine and karaoke machine—is longer, lasting three hours.

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…
