Kindergartens & Schools

Museum pedagogical offers

We offer a special programme for kindergartens and schools. Apart from the guided tours through the visitor’s mine and our new tours, kindergarten and schoolchildren up to year one in secondary school, can enjoy our participative activities and experience mining-related themes at first hand.

A fee is charged for guided tours arranged for kindergartens and school classes. Two adult companions per 20 children may enter free of charge. These guided tours may also be arranged in English or French on request, subject to availability and a supplementary charge.

Registration for guided tours and mediation services is required. We have created a form for this purpose, with which you can already prepare your visit online.
For further advice, please also contact our visitor service at +49 234 5877-220 or send an email to service@bergbaumuseum.de (Tues. to Fri. between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm).
