The new hands-on exhibition for children and young people.

Here, visitors actively take on technical challenges that already had to be solved in the former factories: How can heavy materials be transported, how can large machines be driven for production? What are the prerequisites for successful cooperation? Everything is tried out in the very own way - and understood!

Children's lives along the Ruhr and Emscher 1900 - 1960

Three boys on wheels against an industrial backdropChildren's lives on the Ruhr and Emscher 1900 - 1960Whether carefree at a children's party, disciplined at school, adventurous on a bicycle or in the first year of an apprenticeship building grenades for the war - the lives of children in the Ruhr and Emscher in the first half of the last century were characterized by great contrasts. The childish idyll did not always conceal an ideal world, as the images from the historical photo collections of the LVR Industrial Museum and the Ruhr Museum show.
