Death is part of life. Pushing away this simple truth in your mind doesn't help. It is much healthier and liberating to deal with it. The new special exhibition in the Children's Museum in Neu-Ulm invites people of all ages from October 23 this year.
"Tell me something about death" turns young and old visitors into travelers into the unknown. In small, atmospheric and lovingly designed rooms, they encounter the big questions of the afterlife. Fairy tales, myths and games from different parts of the world are presented, which helped and still help people to explain death and give it a comforting form. It is an intergenerational exhibition for children and adults of all ages.
After the large hourglass, which makes the passage of time visible, visitors can expect the "Living Room of Memories" and the "Gallery of Ages". And then it gets serious. Because then the question of all questions arises: "What comes after death?". It takes courage to see the warning sign "Caution! You are leaving this world now!" But luckily everyone can mix themselves an immortality potion, so that this visit to the museum will definitely not be the "last trip". Prepared in this way, lying in the coffin for a test is expressly permitted. In the paradise garden you can leave wishes for the afterlife. And then the visitors find themselves in the middle of a happy Mexican feast of the dead!
