Herman Lisjak loves all the people in the world, so with the help of his human friends, he prepared the 29th occasional exhibition, placing the spotlight on Humans. The content, displayed across four rooms, guides us from a broad view of the world’s population, through family and home, down to the individual. At the exhibition, we explore the connections between humans and everything that shapes them as social and living beings.
At the exhibition, we explore the connections between humans and everything that shapes them as social and living beings. We present the development of the human species, the world population, different social roles, differences and similarities between people and cultures, various forms of families and homes. We learn about culture, heritage, art, science, architecture, and also about human body, senses, and emotions.
The exhibition is colourful and designed to be interactive. Its museum language especially delights the youngest visitors, encouraging them to explore and acquire new knowledge through play.
We have implemented the principles of equal opportunities, considered the diversity of children, and ensured optimal accessibility for all. Children’s Museum Herman’s Den is fully accessible to those with mobility impairments. For the visually impaired, we’ve installed magnifiers, and for the blind, we’ve introduced a novelty in our museum. We recorded an audio guide, which users can access with just their phone and headphones. Tactile objects are also available for touch. For groups of deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors, we can provide a sign language interpreter in Slovenian Sign Language. The content is also available in English.
In conjunction with the exhibition, we have printed a didactic catalogue that children can fill out at the museum, at school, or at home. We have prepared a computer game, didactic elements for recognizing parts of the human body, and many simple tasks that children can later practice at home.
There are more than enough reasons to spark curiosity and visit the museum, aren’t there?
