Princesses Come To Dance Please!
Don’t touch! No photos allowed! In museums there usually is an immensely large list of things that are forbidden. But prohibitions are definitely not Poldi’s cup of tea. The little ghost living at Schloss Schönbrunn guides kids through the castle and allows them to slip into the roles of royal children: they can put on splendid clothes, try on funny shoes, drink from silver cups and learn about the life during the times of the Emperor on a guided walk through the palace. And if you wish you can even test your skills at quadrille dancing …
The new Labyrinthikon playground boasts 14 play stations with top quality outdoor toys inviting kids to romp about, explore and experiment. The Kids’ Museum offers a box of bricks with which you can build a copy of the palace, there is a Scent Organ allowing you to sniff out the favorite dishes of the royal family, you learn how to communicate in fan talk and how to lay a royal table. Dressed up as prince or princess, children can also play with replica period toys.

Wannabe Monarchs Step Forward!
But not only Schönbrunn is a paradise for princes and princesses in the making – the Hofburg (Imperial Palace) in Vienna also offers plenty of interesting things to see and learn about everyday life as an Emperor.
Kids of all ages get access to the former private chambers of the monarchs and learn what Empress Sisi liked to do in her leisure time, which tortures she had to suffer for her legendary beauty and which was her favorite piece of jewelry. There even is a copy of her wedding dress on display. And as icing on the cake children are even allowed to try on the dresses and clothes!

Work, Fun and Games
The Work Museum in the Upper Austrian town of Steyr wants to show children the consequences and implications of a global work place through painting, crafting, playing and dancing. For adults the philosophy of the Museum of Work is a bit more abstract: the main focus is not on the past but on the future of work, the international interweaving of production sites and the consequences this has on work, life and society. The exhibition offers a Europe-wide unique overview of the changes in the world of employment in the last 20 years.
The Styrian Work museum is the best proof that children are quite capable of understanding abstract concepts. There are several stations providing information on the changes in the world of employment, on equalities and inequalities, justice and injustice and, last but no least, what is most important: to harmoniously blend in with ones surroundings and to treat man and nature respectfully.

In The Footsteps Of Inspector Rex
City tours are dull? Not necessarily! It all depends on how the tours are presented. A great example for fun city tours are the ones by Gabriele Buchas. The tour guide and author sees Vienna not only through the eyes of tourists, but also through the eyes of kids and puts together exciting walks through Austria’s capital. Tours include “Mozart for young folks” or “Spring and Easter Customs” and “In the footsteps of Inspector Rex”: Rex is a German Shepherd and the star of an Austrian police TV series. The tour takes children to the locations where the series was shot and other attractions in downtown Vienna. Dogs are most welcome to join this tour – cats aren’t!

Mighty Marvelous!
Experience sumptuous baroque splendor at the Klosterneuburg monastery and learn about the customs and traditions of that time. How do you drop curtsies? What do you have to bear in mind when meeting the Emperor? At Stift Klosterneuburg history is presented in an entertaining way and there is a professionally equipped atelier for children, designed and developed in cooperation with ZOOM Children’s Museum. The atelier is open to children from 5 years and serves as base camp for their cultural explorations. Together with experienced art dealers and artists children go on journeys of discovery through the winding corridors and splendid rooms of the monastery and are introduced to artworks from the Middle Ages to modern day. Back in the atelier they learn about some of the painting techniques and materials used in the exhibited objects and can create art themselves.

Culture, Children, Carinthia
The Museum of Modern Art in the center of Klagenfurt presents young as well as internationally renowned artists on 1000 square meters of exhibition space. A special workshop is offered for children from 4 years. The museum building is well worth a visit itself – although children probably won’t really value the architectural feat of Helmut Dominikus and Ralf Mikula. The Museum of Modern Art is located inside the “Burg” which was built in 1586 to house the “Collegium Sapientiae et Pietatis”, a school for the protestant nobility. In addition to the exhibitions, which also comprise exhibits of the federal province of Carinthia, the museums offers special events for kids including everything from cartoon movie days to carnival parties.

Peter Prince And His Castle
Young visitors to Schloss Esterházy in Eisenstadt are greeted by an especially flighty character: Peter Prince, a royal bat, who lodged himself in the old palace walls. Schloss Esterházy is the Burgenland’s landmark and most important cultural monument. Under the influence of Prince Paul Esterházy the palace soon became the center of courtly life in Hungary, provided a perfect workplace for the composer Joseph Haydn and is considered one of Austria’s most charming palaces thanks to its special atmosphere. It therefore comes as no surprise that bats in general and Peter Prince in particular like it here. Peter presents Schloss Esterházy not only as center of music, but also as stage where children can participate in all kinds of games and role plays. Music events encourage kids to make music themselves and build bridges to all kinds of musical genres.
