The series "Stadt.Museum.Sommer" was launched to mark the reopening of the newly designed Tölzer Museum.
The day of action on Saturday was all about families.
Bad Tölz - “Are parents allowed to go on a children's tour?” A father asks Elisabeth Hinterstocker, the director of the Tölz City Museum.
“Sure,” she replies.
“Is that also possible with a pram?” The second question follows.
“Of course, we have an elevator,” explains Hinterstocker with a smile.
And so baby Liara comes to his first visit to the museum with big sister Lenya, mom Alessia and dad Rafael.
Which it mostly overslept.
"Now please leave the fox alone, otherwise it will no longer have fur"
The children's tours on Saturday were a central part of another day of action in the “Stadt.Museum.Sommer” series of events. Around the city museum, which is presenting its newly designed rooms in this context, a colorful supporting program was offered in Marktstrasse, this time everything revolving around the topic of family.
Much more alert than the tired Liara is a group of four wild boys on the museum tour, who keep Hinterstocker on their toes.
No exhibit is safe from your researching fingers (“Now please leave the fox alone, otherwise it will no longer have fur”).
In the exhibition room with the Tölzer wedding furniture, they drop into bed.
“Please don't wear your shoes,” protests the museum director.
But otherwise she has the calm gone - and the gang under control.
Child-friendly, like no primary school teacher could do better, she leads the children through her house.
From dinosaurs to the Isar beaver
Starting at the beginning of the earth's history.
“How did it look on earth in the past?” - “Lots of forest, dinosaurs, sea!” Shouted the children in confusion.
Hinterstocker explains how our mountains came into being: "Massive shifts at the seams of the earth push the seabed upwards with a lot of pressure." and explanations.
And already we are "On the Isar".
One boy protests immediately that he has never seen a beaver on the Isar.
“Yes, they're already there, but they're hiding from people,” explains Hinterstocker.
How did the raftsmen get home from Munich?
Forest, i.e. wood, plus water, i.e. building rafts: everything is stringently linked.
Also how these rafts were then used to transport goods to Munich.
“But a raft always only goes downstream.
And how did the raftsmen get back? ”“ By train, ”it sounds.
When Hinterstocker objects that it didn't exist back then, the coach is offered as the next solution.
And what happened to all the rafts in Munich?
“They were sold as building material,” explains the specialist.
"Lumber was scarce in the city."
That furniture can be dismantled - that was not invented by Ikea at all
A huge model of a sawmill leads to the question of what else can be done with wood.
Furniture, right!
And then a whole room full of wonderfully painted rustic furniture follows.
“If everyone in Tölz already had furniture, what did they do there?” “Sold it in Munich!” The children quickly say.
And how did they get there?
Sure, with the raft.
And what was done to accommodate as much as possible on it?
The furniture was dismantled.
“Just like with Ikea!
It was not the Swedes who invented it, but the Tölzer ... "
In the hunting room, the dummy dog especially has the eye
After the demonstration of historical water pipes, the wild boys get bored.
They rush off.
And now Lenya's hour strikes.
“I want to go on,” she says.
And now you can enjoy an exclusive tour with Hinterstocker.
In the hunting room she especially likes the dummy dog with a real, valuable collar, in the Leonhardi room she admires the horse pictures.
And as a highlight at the end, the whole family stands in front of a huge farm model, in which there is always something new to discover.
There are all kinds of hands-on activities on Marktstrasse
Meanwhile, the bear is tapping out on Marktstrasse: acrobats demonstrate their skills, people fish and search for gold.
Rafts are built that you can take with you as a souvenir.
The graffiti sprayers, who have to practice their art largely without an audience, suffer a little from the sun.
Only the Zumba women, sporty and tempered, perform their dances unmoved under the blazing sun.
And they can actually encourage one or the other of the surrounding audience to join in.
