Child-friendly, Age-conscious, and Inclusive

Strong Content for Joint Discussions
The exhibition features five thematic islands on norms, childhood, caring, living, and crisis. Eyewitness interviews, objects, photos, and films make family history tangible and create opportunities for conversations that linger even after the museum visit.
