The Golem is Coming

On the Trail of the Superhero (in German)

Just imagine: You form a figure from earth or clay and breathe life into it. And your creation does everything you want.

What should it do? Discover the various golems in the exhibition and experiment in our golem workshop with other creatures and stories. Be it a Minecraft golem, Hulk or Frankenstein – the golem is alive. And with it all the fantasies that can plunge the world into chaos ... or save it.
