Opening for curious young and old

Due to current events, the scientific institutions, together with the city of Leipzig, have decided that the event will take place online in 2021. Therefore, everything is different, but much remains the same.

Young explorers can choose from an interactive range of tours, workshops, games and questionnaires from 14 p.m. Here not only medical devices are illuminated from all sides, but also new acquaintances are made, like the one with the horse Pferdinand! Friend Teddy has to go to the hospital and is happy to be accompanied. This can be ordered conveniently and free of charge to your home, so that you and your children can treat Teddy. Elsewhere people ask whether grammar can be different and how much of a monkey there is in each of us.

After this foretaste for the little ones, the official opening show begins at 16:30 p.m. Streamed live and with many effects, Jack Pop invites you to be amazed and join in.
