GUIDED TOURS AND PROGRAMMES

GUIDED TOURS

The in-house exhibitions at HAUS SCHLESIEN offer a number of interesting topics for a broad audience. Guided group tours through the exhibitions are available and, in addition to a general tour providing information about the history of HAUS SCHLESIEN and the rich Silesian culture, there are various special tours dealing with different themes.

On a regular basis there is a public tour called “Schlesische Dreiviertelstunde” (45 Silesian minutes). Beginning at 14:30 on the third Thursday of every month, this guided tour provides the opportunity to find out more about the temporary exhibitions or specific sections of the permanent exhibition.

The current guided tours are listed in the event calendar. Individuals may use an audio device for an in-depth round tour.

PROGRAMMES FOR CHILDREN

For children there is much to discover in our exhibitions. Numerous themes such as the production of fabrics, mining, the legends about the giant Ruebezahl or Saint Hedwig provide the background for questions on general issues of German history and culture. With certain of Silesia’s characteristics used by way of example, the form of information transfer will be individually created for different groups. Our children’s tours explain connections by showing selected exhibits and can be enriched by handicraft workshops. The demands of a group can be satisfied individually.

PROGRAMMES FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

Accompanying our exhibitions, we offer changing guided tours and workshops for school children of lower and upper secondary level. Please see current programmes. Individually-designed projects are possible on request. Please contact us.

SESSIONS FOR SENIORS AND DEMENTIA PATIENTS

Another focus of our work is on visitor groups with special requirements. We offer guided tours and programmes suited to the listening abilities of elderly visitors and those suffering from dementia.
