Celebrate your birthday at the Ethnologisches Museum and spend a day full of imagination, fascinating stories, and creativity at the Humboldt Forum.

Our museum guide will accompany you through the exhibition, tell you about the biodiversity of the forests in San Agustín, Colombia, and show you the panorama by artist Yorleny Cardozo Peña. You will listen to the patter of rain and the singing of birds and learn how the plants and animals of the Colombian mountain range and the mysterious, millennia-old stone guardian figures are connected.

Afterwards, you will explore the superpowers of animals in an artistic research laboratory, examine plants and insects with digital microscopes, and design your own three-dimensional protective creature to take home with you as a souvenir.

Details

Yes, parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children! The facilitators design and accompany the programme, but do not provide childcare. Please assist if necessary, e.g. if a child is not feeling well. Please be considerate of other visitors!

Yes, there will be a short snack break during the workshop. Bring small treats such as pretzels, muffins, rolls, vegetable sticks or snacks, as well as water or juice. We ask that you only choose snacks that are easy to distribute, can be eaten without much effort and do not require extensive preparation on site.

No, the snack break will take place in the same room as the workshop. You can set up the snacks you have brought with you here. You are welcome to bring paper cups, crockery and colourful napkins as table decorations. Please do not bring balloons or confetti. Please also note that only LED candles are permitted for fire safety reasons.

In the Humboldt Forum's foyer there is a 17 meter high media tower, called "cosmograph". It gives visitors comprehensive information about their visit and can transform into an art and light installation.
