Kids Stuff for Everyone! How Play Connects Us at the City Museum Kassel

This special exhibition takes families on a lively journey through the play worlds of humanity. At the City Museum Kassel, children, parents, and grandparents discover how much play influences imagination, community, and creativity – from historic wooden toys to digital games.

Playing as a Family Experience

Here, play is not only displayed but also made tangible. The exhibition invites participation, amazement over old and new favorite games, and a shared exchange about what play means across different generations. This creates a fun learning experience that connects children's laughter and shared time.

Discover, Try Out, Participate

Whether it's board games, movement games, role-playing games, or computer games: the presentation shows how diverse play has been for thousands of years. Families can build their worlds, try out games, and learn about play stories from different cultures. This makes the visit age-appropriate, vivid, and particularly close to children's everyday lives.

What Families Take Away Here
