Overview

Times change and so do names. The museum formerly known as the School Museum is now dedicated to the more general theme of Childhood and Youth. There are plenty of objects on display, but the museum is lacking in space. Since the fall of the Wall, Museum für Kindheit und Jugend has been provisionally located on the third floor of a rather ugly school building. Authorities are on the look-out for new premises, yet money is lacking. The small museum is mostly visited by enthusiastic groups of school children, who can try out old feather pens and wax writing slates, and admire the collection of 150 years-worth of children's paraphernalia.
