A Museum that Invites Families to Discover

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.
