An immersive storytelling experience that celebrates diversity, friendship, and belonging.

This immersive exhibition invites children and their families to explore three interactive story worlds where storytelling, animation, play, and creative technology come together. Through movement, gestures, construction, and drawing, the children shape their own journey, following an overarching emotional and narrative arc. Reimagined fairy tales challenge stereotypes and celebrate self-expression while exploring themes of identity, belonging, friendship, diversity, and empathy. We meet Alen, a boy who dreams of becoming a fashion designer. Then there’s Verena, a girl with Down syndrome, who is being bullied. And finally, we learn about an unusual friendship between Fred and Penelope, a frog and a princess. 
 

On weekends, the exhibition can be visited without prior registration and explored at one’s own pace.
 

For elementary school classes, there are three one-hour visit slots available on weekdays, each led by two guides. Elementary school classes must register in advance (free of charge).


You can register your school class here.
