The spooky part is the subject: curses people wrote down in the ancient world. The museum describes a close look at real objects and a craft, nothing staged to frighten.

The museum's group for kids and teens. Once a month outside school holidays, members do things like identifying finds and running archaeology experiments. Members join workshops like this one at no cost.

About

A spooky workshop built around real ancient curse tablets: thin sheets of lead on which people in the ancient world scratched wishes and curses. One of them was found in Frankfurt. Kids look closely at the tablets with a museum educator, work out their secrets together, then design a magic tablet of their own. It suits kids who like codes, mysteries and a small shiver.

€5 materials, free for ARCHÆOkids
