Have you ever chatted to a knight? This and much more is possible in the interactive exhibition.
Experience a fascinating cultural-historical special exhibition within the 800-year-old walls of the Bubikon Knight’s House, which explores the significance and display of wealth and poverty in the Middle Ages and today.
The new special exhibition at Ritterhaus Bubikon highlights the parallels and differences between medieval life and today’s society, juxtaposed historical objects with modern objects and questions the values of that time and today.
Wealth and poverty – these are topics that concern everyone. The exhibition also includes voices from the local population as well as artworks created especially for the exhibition by a 6th grade class from Bubikon. You too can add your opinion on these topics to the exhibition space.
The exhibition invites you to participate and offers space for play and reflection. A picture book story, which motivates children to talk to the historical figures and engage with the exhibits, also enlivens the tour for young visitors.
Special guided tours, workshops and lectures are offered to match the exhibition. For example, the intergenerational workshop “Play a game” and the children’s workshop “Make your own money” or the scenic tour by machTheatre “The agony of choice”. Browse through our calendar of events and discover the programmes for school classes on offer.
For school classes, various guided tours and activity booklets have been designed for different age groups, taking into account the Curriculum21. Further information will follow soon.
