Fifty Rooms for One Family – Life in the Haus zum Kirschgarten

This tour is a chance to explore the huge house that 240 years ago was home to the silk-ribbon manufacturer, Johann Rudolf Burckhardt, and his family. The children will first be sent on a quest to help them gain an impression of the place. Next they will work in groups to find out more about the rooms and objects they have seen. They will learn how the wealthy owners used to live, what their children played with and what the servants had to do.
