Holiday Workshop at the Schliemann Museum in Ankershagen
The holiday workshop at the Schliemann Museum in Ankershagen offers children creative hands-on courses on the ancient world, plus family days and information.

If you are travelling with children in the Mecklenburg Lake District, you are often looking for excursions where they do more than just watch. This is exactly what the holiday workshop at the Schliemann Museum in Ankershagen offers. Here creativity, knowledge and active participation come together. Children playfully immerse themselves in the ancient world, create their own works and keep discovering something new.
The focus is on creative courses based on themes from antiquity. Participants are introduced, for example, to the writing of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Other courses explore how paper was made in ancient times. Things become especially vivid when it comes to paper-making and activities featuring magical paper creatures. Simple materials are transformed into small works of art with a historical connection.
Creative holiday courses with a link to antiquity
The holiday workshop thrives on variety. Every year the courses take up new topics. Sometimes ancient magic and technical marvels take centre stage, at other times magical mythical creatures or the Greek constellations. This diversity makes the programme exciting and gives families a good reason to visit the museum more than once.
The emphasis is not on dry facts, but on personal experience. Children engage creatively with times long past and discover connections in a lively way. For family holidays in the Mecklenburg Lake District, the holiday workshop is a valuable addition.
In summer in the museum garden
In the summer months the holiday workshop takes place in the museum garden. This creates a relaxed atmosphere and gives the activities a special setting. Especially on warm days, it is an enjoyable way to combine culture with time outdoors. The current programme is announced in good time so that visits can be planned well.
Family days for all generations
In addition to the holiday workshop, the Schliemann Museum regularly organises family days. They are designed for children, parents and grandparents who want to explore the museum together. The focus is not only on learning, but also on creating and trying things out as a group.
A particular highlight are the large craft workshops at Easter, Halloween and during Advent. These dates combine seasonal themes with creative ideas and turn a museum visit into an experience for the whole family. Because the focus changes each time, every family day has its own character.
