"all the things that YOU can do" is written in German on white ground. The YOU is orange, the other letters black. The subtitle and logos of the museum are also written on this picture. Around the writing, several objects are presented: an eraser, a disco ball, a pencil and pencil sharpener, a teabag, a pocket rule and some confetti.

All the things that YOU can doAn expedition into the world of activities

Where wood shavings fall and where you juggle with words. Where your music plays and where you do something good for others – this is where your personal journey begins.

Take your own measurements, let fluffy feathers fly, find out how to help the croaking raven or how to break a difficult code.

Figure out where you feel most comfortable …

… maybe in the carpenter’s workshop, where you work with your hands

… at a place, where you look after others or others care for you

… perhaps where words are hiding and where you can discover or invent your own language

… or in the room of creativity, where your imagination runs wild?

Discover what YOU are able to do. Listen to yourself and to what your inner voice is telling you, in order to experience what each activity feels like. The different hands-on stations guide you through the vast country of possibilities.


With an emphasis on four topics the exhibition’s main focus is on intuitively trying things out and working playfully. Whether something comes to you easily, is especially satisfying or you are passionate about – your abilities link to your life in general. They might lead to an honorary position, a fulfilling hobby or even a paid job – an activity that makes you feel: ‘I can achieve something’. In cooperating with others, you realise that everybody has their own strengths and that most things work best in a team. The multi-sensory experience is accompanied by creative reflective tasks. The lovingly designed rooms are a playful and stimulating environment for experimenting and for new experiences, no matter what age you are.
