Childhood is a period of discovery and creativity. International Children's Day reminds adults how vital it is to nurture the talents of young explorers.

The museum Collection Museum is the perfect place for inspiration. Here, history, science, and art come alive, inspiring children to explore the world while developing their visual thinking and imagination. However, discovering the masterpieces and mysteries of the past does not have to be limited to the museum galleries alone.
Play and creativity are the most natural ways for a child to learn. When children draw, color, or solve clever puzzles, they are not just staying busy. In these moments, they practice fine motor skills, learn to focus, and try themselves out as creators.

The team of the museum Collection has developed dedicated interactive materials for children. They turn profound exhibits into an engaging game to play at home. The interactive resources in the "Printed Materials" section offer a rewarding and creative experience, transforming serious collections into a captivating home activity:

Colouring albums ("Magical Dolls", "Musical Boxes", "Emile Gallé Vases", "Russian Enamel", "Spring Flowers") – these are guides to the world of art, where children can replicate the original colors or invent their own fantastic designs.

Educational children's album ­– a collection of interesting tasks, entertaining rebuses, and fascinating puzzles that introduces historical facts and the laws of nature in a relaxed, playful format.

Shadow theatre figures from the late 19th century – printable sheets with silhouettes that can be cut out to stage your own home performance with the characters of an antique shadow theatre.

All these engaging and educational materials are available on the museum Collection website in the "Printed Materials" section.
