A magic carpet ride through history
Overview
Intro
Many children dream of travelling back in time. In the new family exhibition we make this dream come true!
Many children dream of travelling back in time. In the new family exhibition ‘A Magic Carpet ride through history’ at the National Museum Zurich, we make this dream come true! Spread over three separate spaces, visitors can explore the topics ‘Orient’, ‘Seafaring’ and ‘Railways’, with plenty of hands-on fun. In an Arabian palace, on the deck of a large sailing ship and in a vintage railway carriage, young Museum visitors can really get a feel for these momentous eras in global history.
The exhibition combines learning with activities designed specially for children. The exquisitely designed backdrop provides space for imaginations to run free at the Museum, and the beautiful original objects are important witnesses to these epochs in the cultural history of our world.
For families with children aged 5 and over.
