Why not?

An evening at the museum

 Why shouldn't we just once - the French do the same - end the day with a visit to a museum? The Pfalzmuseum opens its doors longer once a month in the evening. On this special date, visitors are offered special expert and experiential tours of the collections. After the museum visit, the evening can be continued with a cosy visit to a pub or restaurant.

Look forward to the following offers, registration is required at the Pfalzmuseum for each tour:

The Celtic spring festival  

Experience the magic of fire and iron: Intensive guided tour through the Archaeology Museum of Upper Franconia on the living world of the Celts. Afterwards, guests will experience a short magical play scene: they will be present at the initiation rite of a new druid and greet the powerful energy of the budding spring with him. Please register in advance at the Pfalzmuseum.

Special guided tour on faith and superstition

We encounter them in our festivals, customs and traditions, on buildings and in art. But what is behind the sometimes eerily fascinating or eerily beautiful creatures and stories? And how do I get rid of "the ghosts I called..."? The guided tour at the Pfalzmuseum Forchheim will help you find out. Please book in advance at the Pfalzmuseum.

Look forward to experiencing history!

Already at the time of Charlemagne, Forchheim had an important function with the royal palace. With its many sights, the town provides the backdrop for our lively guided tour. How the common people lived, loved and died when witches and demons still populated the earth. Your guide will greet you with mead, the welcome drink from the drinking horn. He takes you on an exciting journey through the centuries. You will become a noble lady or a simple peasant yourself. Authentic props and your own experiments let you experience a time when water had to be fetched from the well and the hearth embers had to be kindled with a fire mallet.
