The Children’s Museum
Welcome to a place where history is made for play. Here, children can sail a Viking ship, visit a bazaar, cook in a medieval kitchen and defend a castle under siege. It is hands-on, active and full of imagination. But hurry! Your last chance to visit is 18 October 2026, as we are building brand-new experiences for you. The new Children's Museum will open in summer 2027.
