How did people get around in the time of Ludwig I? How were goods transported? And why have some means of transportation survived while others are history? In an exciting focus tour, the pupils first discover how the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal and the railroad revolutionized mobility in the Kingdom of Bavaria. In the active part, they reconstruct Ludwig's transportation routes, test their functionality with robots and compare them with today's means of transportation. The program playfully conveys the advantages and disadvantages of historical and modern means of transport as well as the challenges of mobility.

Target group: GS / MS / FS / RS / GYM, recommended up to 6th grade

More pocket money, pets for all or rather less school? Who decides and why? Starting with personal rights and co-determination in everyday life, pupils embark on an exciting search for clues from the beginnings of democracy in Bavaria to the present day. During a focus tour through the permanent exhibition, they meet a king who gives his people a constitution, encounter workers who fight for their rights and slip into the role of members of parliament by taking part in a vote on the original chairs of the state parliament. They then engage in politics themselves, draw up a program and develop their own election campaign strategy. Who is the most convincing?
