In 2007, the Labyrinth Children's Museum Berlin (Labyrinth Kindermuseum Berlin) celebrated its 10th anniversary as part of the Fabrik Osloer Straße, a social and cultural centre in the Berlin district of Wedding. On 1,000 square metres in a former matchstick machine assembly hall that now enjoys historical status, children from three to 12 years old can experience a changing array of hands-on exhibitions. There's plenty to touch, try out, play with and also much fun to be had, whether it's focusing on the theme of fairy tales, author Astrid Lindgren, children's rights, health or world cultures – having fun is imperative here! Each interactive exhibition is designed to foster a love of learning in kids and to inspire them to discover themselves and the world using all of their senses. The museum encourages learning-by-doing by means of imitation, curiosity and hands-on experience.
The goal of the Labyrinth Children's Museum Berlin is to promote the health and social and cultural education of children. There are also a number of additional programmes that round out the exhibition, including advanced training, expert conferences, mobile programmes for day-care centres, schools and recreational organisations, children's birthdays, model projects and European-wide exhibition rental.
