Bonn Museum Curriculum

Eight museums in Bonn have developed the innovative concept of a museum curriculum. A cooperation agreement between elementary school and museums provides for one museum visit per school year.

The museum visits are based on the current curricula and enable activity-oriented and discovery-based learning. Pupils learn to explore museums independently - they acquire the "museum visit competence". The materials specially developed for the museum curriculum for preparation and follow-up make it possible to link museum visits and lessons.

Here, children are empowered for lifelong participation in cultural education.

A new feature is the mascot of the Bonn museum curriculum, which acts as an intermediary between schools and museums.

These museums are taking part:

The Bonn museum curriculum at a glance:

  • Class 1
    What is a museum, what can you experience and learn about here? Why do we collect things? We explore the whole museum!
  • Class 2
    We use all our senses to discover exhibits and their meanings and effects. Our perception is individually different and unique.
  • Class 3
    There are a variety of methods, games, tasks and approaches for exploring exhibits in the museum. We use language creatively to describe, discuss and express ourselves.
  • Class 4
    Exhibits are presented in different ways in the museum. How can we show things ourselves and make them tangible? We plan our own exhibition.
