International Museum Day 2024
International Museum Day on May 19, 2024 at the Radolfzell City Museum was dedicated to historical craftsmanship in the countryside. Demonstrations brought these almost forgotten skills into the museum. The numerous visitors were able to watch wool being spun, baskets being woven from willow and scythes being twisted. Children were able to try out their manual skills and lend a hand at the children’s wood workshop “Die Werkerei”. Museum educator Jacqueline Berl guided visitors through the special exhibition “Village life. Geschichte(n) aus den Radolfzeller Ortsteilen” and brought back to life the time of the old village, in which many things for everyday life were produced in-house. Finally, anyone who wanted to could take part in a museum quiz. A day true to the museum’s motto: We bring history to life! (Photo: Kurt Kalmbach)
