"The Gruffelo is coming back"

Installations such as the Grüffelo kitchen, a shadow theatre and a reading lounge invited children to touch, participate and try things out. In role play with animal masks, every child could put themselves in the shoes of the actual main character of the picture book story: the brave, clever mouse. Visitors also learnt about the local forest with its variety of plants and animals by playing various quizzes.
Kindergarten groups and primary schools in particular used the exhibition for an excursion. With a total of 130 guided tours booked, the museum can draw a positive balance.
The varied programme accompanying both Grüffelo exhibitions offered activities for all ages: In addition to regular creative workshops and an exhibition cinema, there were puppet shows, puppet theatre, musical readings, a holiday programme at Easter and much more. Axel Scheffler visited the Speyer Museum as a star guest - most recently for the exhibition's finissage.
