Bring the story to life for the children

As a summer volunteer, you are the vital link that makes history fun, accessible, and vivid for children. Over the course of two vibrant weeks in July, you will help us bring our popular "Historical Quests" to life—adventures where curious children head out into the museum park to solve tricky mysteries.

Everything begins with a brief group introduction, after which the children set off into the museum grounds, where you and your fellow volunteers are ready to guide, encourage, and inspire them. Through your energy and enthusiasm, you will give our youngest visitors a summer memory to last a lifetime—filled with play and new discoveries!

Kulturen's drama group

Our drama group has existed since 2022.

In the summer of 2026, Kulturen opened its doors for ten July evenings and performed a walking show in the park after the museum's closing time. The performances sold out in record time!
