Craft Boxes—a Museum for at Home!

Paint, solve puzzles, read, and play: instead of an exhibition catalog, the Youth Museum offers children special craft boxes designed to accompany each exhibition. These take our young readers on a search for clues and turn history into an exciting trip from the past into the up-to-date present. They are an ideal supplement to an exhibition visit and as an interactive gift idea, offer hours of fun. You can purchase the craft boxes in the Museum Shop.

The Egyptian Box

Why was the Nile so important to the Egyptians? How does a mummy come into existence? How did children play in old Egypt? Stories, information, maps, photos and illustrations, a ship, a pyramid and a temple to play with, a domino, a snake game, a calendar and much more explain life in old Egypt through games.  

Jews in the Middle Ages

Stories, photos, pictures to color, cooking recipes, a memory game, the synagogue of Speyer to play with, and a calendar explain through games what Jewish life in the Middle Ages was like.

Jumus Becomes a Knight

The Pirate-Box

Lots of stories, pictures and illustrations tell the exciting history of the buccaneer. Hilarious games, prickly riddles and awesome play boards with which to build a pirate vessel and a captain’s hat all wait to be “captured” and tried by your little pirate.

The Palatine Box

The Palatine Box is not only a richly illustrated catalog for young persons on the collections of the Historical Museum of the Palatinate but also an enjoyable reference to the history of the region. It tells the history of the Palatinate from prehistoric times to the present on extravagantly  designed subject boards.

The Viking Box

This craft box explains where the Vikings came from and where they headed, with whom they traded, and who their enemies were. Alongside text and picture portfolios, game portfolios explain the world of the Vikings and their travel routes, while board games related to the subjects of boats, helmets and houses wait to be tried.

The Witches’ Magic Box

Is there really such a thing as magic? What did witches know that no one else was allowed to know? And why were they persecuted for hundreds of years? The Witches’ Magic Box airs secrets, reveals ingredients for magic potions and introduces the most effective incantations. The homemade witch’s hat makes it easier to solve the perplexing riddles.
