Many children dream of traveling back in time. In the new family exhibition 'A Magic Carpet ride through history' at the National Museum Zurich, we make this dream come true! Spread over three separate spaces, visitors can explore the topics 'Orient', 'Seafaring' and 'Railways', with plenty of hands-on fun. In an Arabian palace, on the deck of a large sailing ship and in a vintage railway carriage, young Museum visitors can really get a feel for these momentous eras in global history. The exhibition combines learning with activities specially designed for children. The exquisitely designed backdrop provides space for imaginations to run freely at the museum, and the beautiful original objects are important witnesses to these epochs in the cultural history of our world.
