Children's book house in the Altona Museum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hamburg children's book house in the Altona Museum is a place where original illustrations from the field of children's and youth literature can be seen. Both the works of well-known book artists and illustrators as well as the sketches and drafts that were necessary to create the final illustration are shown .

The workshops and workshops for children and adults, which are regularly carried out by book artists, illustrators and authors, are dedicated to the aspect of making book culture tangible. A further training program for learning guides and educators as well as trainees, students and volunteers, for example for philosophizing with children, is offered to accompany the respective exhibitions. The Hamburg Children's Book Days take place regularly in spring. From practice for practice, professionals provide useful information on the topic of children's books in workshops and lectures. The regular accompanying events of the children's book house also include readings, lectures and book presentations.
