A book cinema that brings history to life
At the Potsdam Museum – Forum for Art and History, on October 10, 2026, a special glimpse into the past, daily life, and city memories opens up. The book cinema An Old House Tells of the Past is aimed at children aged 7 and above and combines picture book art, historical artifacts, and a finely narrated reading atmosphere into a literary experience that ignites curiosity about city history.
When a house becomes a storyteller
Gerda Raidt utilizes the power of the picture book to accompany a residential house and its inhabitants through the decades. Small animations, sounds, and historical objects from the museum's depot make visible how living, life, and remembering change. Thus, a narrative form emerges that combines reading, lecture, and illustrative mediation, appealing to both children and accompanying adults.
Literary quality meets pedagogical precision
The format focuses on linguistic art and visual clarity. Instead of mere information, a space for discovery arises: What does a house reveal about its time? Which traces remain in daily life? The event connects narrative imagination with cultural knowledge and shows how literature introduces young readers to history without being didactic.
A place with atmosphere
The venue at Alten Markt 9 is one of the notable addresses in Potsdam's historical center. The Potsdam Museum provides the perfect setting for a book cinema that weaves together objects, images, and narration. The surroundings enhance the reading atmosphere: a museum as a place of remembrance, a picture book as the key to the past.
Conclusion: An afternoon for young literature enthusiasts and curious families
Those who love stories that connect images, knowledge, and emotion will experience a clever, child-friendly cultural format with a lasting impression. The book cinema invites visitors to not only observe the past but to discover it narratively. A visit is worthwhile for everyone who wants to experience literature as a lively access to history.
