Museum Training Room

Two years of the pandemic have also led to changes for us. However, one thing has remained unchanged: our first-class museum tours!

They are run by women volunteers who all stand in the middle of life. Well trained, not only in regular in-house training courses, they have a great deal of knowledge from a wide range of disciplines. This makes it easy for them to link the many topics in the museum and to put them into understandable words. Of course, the words may sound different on a guided tour for children than on a guided tour for adults. Inevitably, and appreciated by the guests, the Bavarian language is used. Like the mammoth, the ladies come from Chiemgau and like living here.

Enjoy the pleasure of such a guided tour. You will be charmingly guided through the museum. You will learn exciting background knowledge and interesting details. You listen, marvel and learn the best about the museum's contents at first hand.

A copper axe à la “Oetzi” concludes the exhibition on a high note.

Making fire is always fascinating. It is even more exciting when you don't have a box of matches. After completing the “normal” one hour tour (see above), we demonstrate how fire can be made using stone-age methods: first the simple method with flint stone and tinder, and then a more strenuous way with a fiddle bow and a fire-drill made out of the right wood.

The tour fee is 45.00 €, + the entry fee pro person: adults 9.00 €, children/pupils 4.50 €.

This long-running classic is a compact, comprehensive programme especially suitable for school classes dealing with “human evolution.” Following a detailed tour of the ice age and stone age sections, the pupils themselves become active. By participating in the various programmes they can successfully make their own stone amulets, trinkets made from feathers and seashells, flint arrowheads, cave paintings or Oetzi-Muesli. A stone-age fire will then be lit to conclude the course.

The cost of the course for a school class is 62.50 €, + 14.00 € cost for materials (per class), and the entry fee per pupil is 4.00 €. The guided tour is for school classes comprised of up to 33 children. The Stone Age introductory course can accommodate 2 tours at the same time.
Duration: 2.5 hours

When making a booking please remember to have an alternative date ready. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are very popular and reservations are often made a long time in advance. It is easier to book a tour for Monday or Friday - if possible for the afternoon.

The Stone Age Excursion

Bright children from 5 - 10 years from kindergarten, primary school and after-school care are the target group here. Also club children's groups and holiday programmes.

At the beginning we go to the museum. Geology and the formation of the Alps made easy with earthquakes, the giant shark's mouth and a Bavarian dinosaur. The tour continues with mammoths and cave lions. The tour is crowned with the bear cave and the Stone Age people. The tour continues outdoors. Stations are set up in the Stone Age Garden where visitors can drill and grind, bind, paint and make things on their own. Everything can be tried out. So everyone can find their "favourite work" and of course take home what they have made. After an hour, everyone gathers around the campfire. Here, without guidance, the excursion can be concluded with a snack and good mood.

Important: The course can only be booked from April to October. The practical part takes place outdoors. In all weathers. Please make sure you wear suitable clothing.

The course lasts 2.5 hours. The course fee is 75,00 € + material fee 12,00 € + entrance fee 5,50 € per participant. Attendants are all free. They work with the children and help when necessary. Two courses can take place at the same time, and they gather together around the fire at the end.

The small programme

A great programme, ideal for families with several children. It is also well suited for special schools or groups of friends.

First we go to visit the museum in an informal way. With mammoths, the Stone Age and the cave bear, the excitement mounts. What happens next? Everything is prepared in the Stone Age workshop. Make your own fortune stones! It takes strength to make the shape fit. Imagination and feeling for the carved (secret) sign. A little patience for the finishing work. More power for the shine - and the amulet, magic or fortune stone is ready. Each one is unique, distinctive and special.

Duration 1.5 hours
Course fee 60.00 € + cost of materials 10.00 € + entry fee 5.50 € per participant.
