A Bright Start for the Whole Family at the Natural History Museum
On Sunday, 27.09.2026, the Natural History Museum Bielefeld opens its doors for a free family festival to inaugurate the exhibition Magic of Light. From 1 PM to 5 PM, this art experience connects science, perception, and amazement in a lively exhibition opening with high aesthetic experience.
Light, Illusion, and the Play with Perception
The exhibition leads into a realm of anamorphoses, holograms, zoetropes, and camera obscura. These forms of optical illusion break familiar viewing habits and make visible how easily the eye can be deceived. The special power of this presentation lies exactly in this: it translates physical phenomena into a sensory experience that captivates both children and adults.
Experimenting, Discovering, Understanding
Bielefeld University complements the exhibition with two of its own experimental stations from physics education. An exhibition guide is available upon request and explains exhibits, backgrounds, and observations. This creates a museum pedagogically strong connection of exploration, conversation, and immediate contemplation of the works, making cultural education tangible.
Creative Workshop and Family Atmosphere
In the creative workshop, small light projectors are created that project colorful images on the wall. Coffee, juice, and cake ensure a relaxed exhibition atmosphere and turn the visit into a family celebration filled with peace, curiosity, and shared joy. The format invites lingering and creates space for questions, discoveries, and playful learning.
A Visit that Arouses Curiosity and Creates Memories
Conclusion: The family festival for the opening of Magic of Light convincingly combines science, imagination, and museum experience. Those who want to not only see optical phenomena but really understand them should firmly plan this date at the Natural History Museum Bielefeld. An inspiring start for a visit that leaves a lasting impression.
