Children's birthday party at the CityMuseum

For parents looking for an exciting alternative for their children's birthday party, the StadtMuseum Einbeck has special offers.

  • Stone Age: The birthday group will learn about the work of archaeologists in a playful way: What can we still find today from the time 2000 or more years ago? Can a Stone Age flint blade cut like a knife? What did people back then actually live off? How did they make fire, eat, and live? Were these people really so different from us over 5000 years ago?
  • Middle Ages: Einbeck was very wealthy and important in the late Middle Ages, between 1300 and 1500. We'll show you how artisans and citizens lived, ate, and dressed here. You can shoot a crossbow and write with ink and quill in the "scriptorium" like medieval monks. And maybe we'll even discover the meaning of your names.
