With the Little Witch through an exhibition full of magic and discovery

At the Historical Museum Bielefeld, the special exhibition “The Little Witch” opens its doors on August 2, 2026 at 11:30 AM for a guided tour that draws both children and adults into a vibrant world of fantasy. The interactive exhibition based on Otfried Preußler combines literature, cultural memory, and sensory performance experience in the broadest sense: as a walk-in storytelling space where characters, tasks, and images create a dense theatrical atmosphere of a special kind.

An exhibition that steps off the book page

The Little Witch, her raven Abraxas, the High Witch, and Aunt Rumpumpel form the core of a story that has delighted generations. At the Historical Museum, it becomes not a silent observation, but an active experience. Visitors accompany the little witch on her journey to become a good witch, encounter magical stations, and immerse themselves in a production that intertwines play, fantasy, and education.

Family-friendly, lively, and close to the audience

The guided tour is aimed at families, children, and anyone who is interested in an excitingly prepared cultural journalistic museum visit. The interactive moments give the exhibition its own rhythm: here, wonder, experimentation, and laughter are encouraged. This makes the event particularly accessible for young visitors without sacrificing the poetic depth of the material.

The material behind the magic

Otfried Preußler's story marks an important moment in children's literature because it portrays the witch not just as a terrifying figure, but as a lovable, strong-willed character. This dramatic shift also shapes the exhibition: instead of moralistic condemnation, curiosity dominates, and instead of distance, immediate experience prevails. Thus, a culturally valuable approach to a classic emerges, which continues to influence the stage, family life, and reading culture to this day.

Practically accessible

The event location is the Historical Museum Bielefeld at Ravensberger Park 2. The building is wheelchair accessible, offers barrier-free paths, cloakroom and lockers, as well as parking options at the venue. Public transport connections are also comfortable, making the visit uncomplicated and family-friendly.

Conclusion

This guided tour in the special exhibition “The Little Witch” combines literature, fantasy, and museum visit into an inspiring experience with heart and attitude. Those who want to experience Bielefeld's culture vibrantly should mark this date and experience the Little Witch live at the museum.
