Kindermuseum

In the Böttchergäßchen building, children aged six to ten can enjoy the interactive exhibition "Children make trade fairs". Here they can learn about Leipzig's eventful history and its special status as a trade fair city from their own perspective. In six themed areas, all of the senses are stimulated at numerous interactive stations: goods from distant countries can be felt, weighed or guessed using an audio memory game, and costumes tailored to historical models can be tried on. Dressed as market women and merchants, the children can explore the Leipzig trade fair world of the 19th century, learn about old currencies and weight and length measurements. Games and media stations allow them to learn more about the route of goods on the important trade routes Via Regia and Via Imperii. Even 200 years ago, fun and enjoyment played an important role in trade fair visits at the Leipzig Trade Fair, as the children are shown in historical games such as the magic drum and gallows skittles. At the end of the tour, the guests immerse themselves from the past trade fair world into the present.

The Children's Museum is part of the City History Museum and is located in the heart of Leipzig.
