Our interactive museum lessons are always adapted to the age group.
Light, fun and in line with the national curriculum, the skill-building lessons complement what is taught in school. The museum lesson is not an academic exercise; children learn through play, not information overload, and learn new historical knowledge while developing existing skills.
The service is available by appointment only and with a student group pass!

Emperor Augustus himself proposed that the Rhine and Danube should remain the borders of the empire in Europe. In our country, this means the fortifications along the Danube.

What made Rome an empire: the structure and functioning of the Roman army
Related ages: 14+
Duration: between 45-60 minutes
The name of the novel is almost synonymous with the idea of a well-organised army. But the road to its development was a bumpy one. In the early periods, only tribal, small troops were formed when threatened. This gave rise to an army with fairly good tactical practice, which by the time of the emperor was one of the most effective armies in the world.

Object-making activities
Our subject-creation activities are designed to be a lasting experience for preschool and primary school children. History comes to life in the hands of children, who learn about Roman culture, everyday life and objects of the Roman era through playful activities. In the creative process, they not only develop their manual dexterity, but also learn while having fun and experience success, while connecting with the world of the ancient Roman Empire.
During the sessions, participants can make their own ornate women's headdresses, diadems, laurel wreaths, or legionary helmets, Roman shields and unique coins using special metal embossing techniques. The colourful mosaic images are made from Roman crops, making the history of the past a tangible reality.
