Every third Sunday of the month (except during the summer holidays and on some public holidays) there are creative programmes for families in the Museum Gallery of the German Museum of Books and Writing of the German National Library between 11:00 and 12:30. Some of the topics relate to the permanent " Signs - Books - Networks" exhibition and are complemented by activities connected with books, paper and printing. Special topics are also offered centring on a particular season or public holiday. For example, there is a nature printing activity in spring. Christmas cards can be designed during advent.
Age: The topics are aimed at different age groups.
