Magical Letters: Writing Adventures Like in the Middle Ages
A family experience full of fun learning: Children discover at the Museum of the Bavarian Vogtland in Hof how nuns wrote and read over 500 years ago. With quill and ink, they create their own medieval letter and artistically decorate initials – child-friendly, age-appropriate, and safely supervised.
Writing Like in the Monastery – Quill, Ink, Parchment Feel
Curiosity is highly encouraged here: Under guidance, children learn about historical writing, put quill to paper, and experience the sensory learning experience of ink on paper. The special exhibition on Hohenzollern Princess Margarethe of Brandenburg provides exciting backgrounds and strengthens the understanding of history.
Creativity, Fine Motor Skills, and Concentration
Well Supervised and Safely Organized
The activity is tailored for ages 6 to 12. Small groups, clear processes, and tested materials ensure safety. Please bring a drink – short breaks are planned. Registration is required by March 20; limited spots available.
Family-Friendly Location: Central, Accessible, Easy to Reach
The museum is accessible (ramps, elevator, accessible restroom). Nearby is parking P11 Sigmundsgraben. A museum café and shop facilitate family-friendly breaks before or after the workshop.
