Want to go on an adventure vacation on the Museum Embankment this year instead of traveling far away?
During the summer vacations, twelve Frankfurt cultural institutions are once again offering a joint week-long vacation program. Every day, the trip goes to two different museums and in between there is time for a picnic lunch and playing on the banks of the Main.
A varied program awaits the participating children: analogue and digital exhibition experiences, many practical workshops from printing technology and film tricks to playing with words and colors, interesting stories about the past and future of Frankfurt and our planet, and last but not least – for all those who dare – a visit to the top of the cathedral. Unforgettable memories are guaranteed!
When?
From Monday to Friday, always from 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
These weeks are available to choose from:
- June 29 – July 3
- July 6 – 10
- July 13 – 17
Who can take part?
Children between 8 and 12 years
What does it cost?
150 euros per child

Every day there is an exciting program in different museums:
Archaeological Museum / Institute for Urban History
Children discover how history is researched and told by and in Frankfurt. With playful insights into museum work and the city archive, small discoveries and personal experiences, the past comes alive.
BIMU – Bible House Experience Museum
From stories told in nomadic tents to the finished text that we can read today – the Bible has a long history. Together we go on a journey through the history of the Bible and children try out how Bible texts are copied: With ink and a writing tube or the printing press.
German Architecture Museum
Why are cities getting hotter and hotter? Together they explore how buildings, streets and the lack of greenery influence the climate. They then create their own models for cooler cities with shade, water and plants.
DFF – German Film Institute & Film Museum
Is it possible to fly on a broom or glide across the floor on invisible roller skates? Can objects dance around you? In a stop-motion film, yes! A short animated film is made in which the participating children have the leading role.
Cathedral Museum Frankfurt
Tower tour and creative workshop with small clay bricks: 328 steps up to the viewing platform – how did people manage to build the tower over 600 years ago? Who came up with the decoration? And how many people were needed to ring the bells?
Jewish Museum / Museum Judengasse Frankfurt
The workshop takes you on a creative journey of discovery with fairytale stories, where you can learn a lot about the lives of people in Frankfurt’s Judengasse. These stories are turned into colorful visual worlds that can then be printed on postcards using linoleum plates and taken home.
Young Museum Frankfurt
The “Back in 1410” exhibition takes visitors on a playful tour of the digital world. Fake news at the city wall, the use of AI by the master builder, data protection when currying horses or influencing and earning coins – everything can be tried out here in a protected space.
Giersch Museum of the Goethe University
How are artificial intelligence and other technologies that collect information changing our lives? In the workshop, the children become data detectives themselves. They find out what traces they leave behind in their everyday lives, who can see them – and how they protect their data.
Museum for Communication Frankfurt
How did people actually communicate without the internet or cell phones? In an interactive discovery tour through the exhibition, communication can be experienced in a playful way – from writing letters to historical telephones. In the children’s workshop, visitors can try out pneumatic post, Morse code and printing technology.
MUSEUM MMK FOR MODERN ART
In the exhibition about the painter Fritz Scholder, we observe together how colors, figures and shapes interact and what emotions they trigger. Above all, how powerful they can be. The children then use these impressions and insights to create their own pictures.
World Cultures Museum
In the exhibition “SHEROES. Comic Art from Africa”, extraordinary heroic stories are told. What makes people superheroes? What “powers” would a shero need? You can design your own characters and scenes in a comic strip.
