Creativity that grows from the exhibition
At the center is the Brandenburg Exhibition as a space for looking at works and discovering together. In the workshop Designing ceramic objects, personal artworks are created under professional guidance, inspired by the exhibited objects or in their own style. This makes the museum day not only visual but also immediately experiential.

Adventures for families and young explorers
The program particularly targets children and families. A free puzzle booklet, audio tours, and discovery niches with puzzles, secret writing, and distorted mirrors lead playfully through the exhibition. Depending on age, the museum visit becomes a treasure hunt, a search for traces, or an audio journey. This turns cultural education into a sensory experience full of curiosity and imagination.
