A fun birthday party for the children and at the same time stress-free enjoyment for the parents – that is possible! With the LVR-Industriemuseum options for children’s birthday parties. First there is a short tour through the museum factory under the motto “How woollen cloth is made” and then: Do it yourself! From the activity-oriented options offered the child with a birthday chooses one appropriate to the age of the guests and then they can make felt, weave, print and much more together.
The paper maker’s children, Gertrud and Johann Berg, lived and worked in the paper mill. During a guided tour around the museum girls and boys learn how they lived and what work they had to perform in the paper mill.
