Story window – listen and discover

On Wednesday and Saturday afternoons children explore on cushions the colourful fantasy world of picture books. What secret is Hanna hiding in her pocket? And what does Leo do when he’s afraid of the dark? The children listen to an interactive story and subsequently discover related objects in the museum.

For children aged 3 and older

German | Swiss German | English

The following picture books are on the program: “Leo Leuchthirsch” (Leo the Luminous Stag), “Hannas Hosentasche” (Hanna’s Pocket), “Mister Maulwurf sucht einen Schatz” (Mister Mole Hunts for Treasure), “Der Ort der lieben Dinge” (The Place of Nice Things).
