On Hottingerplatz, kids are standing face-to-face with skeletons. Another touches a mammoth’s tooth. And some are even wielding Stone Age tools. If the concept of time can be abstract for children, it’s the opposite at Kulturama. Here, 600 million years are brought to life through a discovery trail with hands-on stations.
First, it’s off to the origins of the Earth, where families marvel at fossils and discover how early fish and mammals developed after the Big Bang. Next come the skeletons, in the section on the human body. Kids are amazed to see all the bones that help them run and play. There are fun tests, too – fancy finding out how your heartbeat compares with that of a shrew?
A learning area includes brain specimens, films and games, and in the Stone Age room, children try out ancient drilling techniques and grinding grain. Look out for the dinosaur symbol, highlighting exhibits for the littlest ones.
