Discover the Melanchthonhaus: child-friendly exhibitions in Wittenberg!
A lot is happening in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, especially when it comes to cultural assets worth seeing for young and old. The Melanchthonhaus and the Augusteum in particular have a lot to offer families and interested parties. The MDR reports that the Melanchthonhaus, located at Collegienstrasse 60, is an exciting destination. Here visitors can immerse themselves in the world of Philipp Melanchthon and learn a lot about the Reformation. With opening hours daily from 10am to 6pm from April to October and 10am to 5pm Tuesday to Sunday from November to March, it's easy to fit in a visit. The entry prices are quite affordable at 5 euros for adults, 2.50 euros for concessions and 10 euros for a family ticket.
Particularly noteworthy is the partial accessibility of the Melanchthon House. There is ground-level access, a new museum building and the garden is also accessible. These aspects enable people with walking or visual impairments to enjoy the exhibition. If you would like to find out more, you can find comprehensive information on the Melanchthonhaus website.
Venue for children
The Augusteum, another fascinating destination at Collegienstraße 54, attracts visitors with the special exhibition “It was the monk!”, which is specially designed for children. Here the little guests can go on an exciting journey of discovery that makes learning playful. With an entrance fee of 6 euros for adults, 4 euros for concessions and a family ticket for 15 euros, the visit isn't too big a deal for your wallet either.
The Augusteum also has a lot to offer when it comes to accessibility. From ramp access to an elevator and a variety of mobile seating options, the museum ensures that every visitor is welcome. Blind and deaf guests can easily use the facilities such as the passenger elevator with acoustic announcements or the listening station. Assistance dogs are also welcome here, making the entire diversity of the exhibition accessible to visitors.
Animal variety
Speaking of variety: If you're looking for a dose of humor and cuteness, you might also enjoy characteristic sheep characters from cartoons. Loud Ranker Characters like Shaun the Sheep and Timmy not only draw attention to themselves through their funny adventures, but also show values such as loyalty and curiosity. These popular characters bring a certain lightness and humor into the lives of viewers and are particularly popular with children.
With a harmony of cultural experiences and the joy of animal cartoon heroes, Lutherstadt Wittenberg brings both education and entertainment on a silver platter. So, grab the family and head to one of the most worth visiting places in Saxony-Anhalt!
