Two exhibition halls, two special exhibitions, various guided tours, plenty of fairy tales, and theatrical tours with Bettine Brentano—there’s plenty to experience at the Großer Hirschgraben. An art studio and workshops also offer opportunities to get creative yourself. At the Goethe House, you can experience the unique atmosphere of the home where the poet spent his childhood and youth. The German Romanticism Museum offers insight into a very special era. The stories told there show just how many facets Romanticism can have: an era of cultural history, an aesthetic movement, or simply a feeling.
What was everyday life like for the Goethe family? How did Johann Wolfgang and his sister Cornelia grow up? Fascinating stories and hands-on exhibits bring the 18th century to life. Afterward, participants can try their hand at writing with a quill.
