About
A big special exhibition on dragons, told through art and science together. European dragon-slayer paintings sit beside East Asian sky dragons, along with fossils and animal specimens that may have fed the old stories. Kids follow their own trail with Naseheiß, the museum dragon, using an activity booklet to hunt down six dragons. A reading corner and a drawing wall give younger visitors a break between rooms.
Free up to 18, adults €12
