MASTERPIECE!
The manifold museums of Frankfurt are worthwhile destinations all year round. For children and young adults under the age of 18.
16 Museums – 0 Euros for Everyone Under 18
Budding Edisons or little whirlwinds, introverts or extroverts, quiet contemplators or persistent questioners – if they're under 18 years of age they can visit all of Frankfurt's 16 municipal museums for free.
Free admission for children and young adults under 18 was decided by the city council in January 2017, and applies to all permanent and special exhibitions. The offer has been well received, and the statistics indicate a 25% increase in museum attendance by under 18s in the first quarter of 2017 alone. The following fascinating institutions are open to everyone in that age group free of charge: Archäologisches Museum Caricatura Museum Deutsches Architekturmuseum Hindemith Kabinett Historisches Museum Ikonenmuseum Institut für Stadtgeschichte Jüdisches Museum Junges Museum MUSEUM MMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST Museum Angewandte Kunst Museum Judengasse Porzellan Museum TOWER MMK Weltkulturen Museum ZOLLAMT MMK
Also, the free admission for everyone under the age of 18 applies at the MUSEUM GIERSCH of the Goethe-University.
We want young people to conceive of museums as open houses, in which they are welcome anytime," says Dr. Ina Hartwig, Frankfurt's Deputy Mayor in charge of Culture.
How much does a suit of armour weigh? What does a garden chair have in common with a space rocket? Where can you find miniature houses? How did Stone Age people make fire? The answers to these and many more exciting, curious, and interesting facts can be found in the museums on both banks of the river Main.
