Children and young people at the
museum on the Rhine

Explore the museum with the witch

The museum has plenty to offer children and young people. The friendly museum witch plays the role of guide for our young visitors. Selected topics from Oberwesel’s town history have been specially adapted for children and are presented on colourful display panels throughout the museum. Children are also invited to try and solve our museum quiz – the witch will help with the answers.

Whirlpools, Cliffs and Other Dangers

Our programme “Whirlpools, Cliffs and Other Dangers” has been developed especially for school classes. It includes a walk along the Rhine to Oberwesel’s nautical information centre, a boat trip to St. Goar to visit a river maintenance boat and the Rhine pilots’ museum, and culminates with the multimedia experience “Shipping Live”, a Rhine rally and film shows in the Stadtmuseum Oberwesel.

Museum Rally

“R(h)ein ins Rätsel” is a museum rally for all young visitors who are especially interested in shipping and the Rhine. If your solution is correct you can take part in a prize draw.
