The exhibition is interactive and designed as a game. It is suitable for adults of all ages. We will equip you with a badge and a headset. After that, your adventure can begin. We recommend the HERO GAMES for children 9 or older. The exhibition is only partially barrier-free; people who have issues with their hearing or vision will only be able to participate in the game to a limited extent.

The number of slots is limited. You should book your spot in advance and pay for your ticket at the museum ticket desk when you arrive.

WORKSHOP FOR SCHOOL GROUPS

Brave, bold and selfless

How heroic are we?
First, the pupils in the school group will complete all the heroic missions in the exhibition and discover the legend within them. After that, we will break up into groups and examine the question of who our heroes are, whether we need them and, if so, why, and how heroic we ourselves actually are. Each group will put together a zine in the form of a small brochure that will present the group’s views and reflections, and perhaps even short stories.

We will incorporate the pupils’ ideas directly into the HERO GAMES by displaying their zines in the exhibition and making them available to visitors.

2 hours, starting at the 4th primary level
Tues.–Fri. from 10 a.m. to 12 noon
Group size: max. of 25 participants
Prices: Schools in BS/BL cantons: free; others CHF 180.00

Registration: +41 61 267 01 40, Tues.–Fri. mornings, or write an email here.
