How did people live over 500 years ago? The children are plunged in the world and paintings of the Middle Ages: They try on the clothing worn at that time and visit the counts of Freiburg. After they’ve listened to the organ, they learn why there used to be so many paintings in the church and how the colourful stained glass windows are manufactured. The vivid museum visit explains the religious art of the Middle Ages – its stories and functions – in a fun way.
