White Gold – With children in the Porcelain Museum

White Gold – With children in the Porcelain Museum
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to the Porzellanikon, a museum about porcelain. We saw a live demonstration of a steam engine and learned about porcelain production. The children were able to touch almost everything, which made the visit very relaxing

Highlights: The children enjoyed the steam engine demonstration and the hands-on activities, like making a cup and decorating a plate. "The interest is piqued," and they were "impressed by its size." ✨
