history
The musiculum was launched in 2009 by the non-profit foundation Jovita.
Jovita Foundation
The children and youth foundation was founded in 2002 by customers of the MMWarburg & CO bank based in Hamburg. The foundation aims to support children and young people regardless of their social and cultural background through a creative educational program. The Jovita Foundation also supports the yellow villa based in Berlin, a creative and educational center for children and young people.
Origin background
The musiculum is located in the former school building of the Kieler Sternschule, which was built in 1888. The building served as a primary school until 1987 and was temporarily used as a warehouse for museum exhibits. In 2007 the partly dilapidated building was acquired for the musiculum and renovated in cooperation with the Schleswig-Holstein State Office for the Preservation of Monuments . On March 21, 2009 the building was reopened as a musiculum learning and experimentation workshop for children and young people . The building is registered as a protected monument in Kiel's monument topography . The pedagogue Andrea Schobries is co-founder and project manager of the musiculum.
The institution
Location
The location of the musiculum is Stephan-Heinzel-Straße 9 in Kiel (Schleswig-Holstein). The musiculum offers unique possibilities for various exhibition rooms on a total area of 2000 square meters. A family of instruments or a musical theme, such as string instruments, air instruments, percussion instruments, and electronic instruments, are displayed in each exhibition space . In addition, the building houses a professional recording studio, a band room and a concert hall that can accommodate up to 199 people with a stage for musical theater , dance events and presentations. The project content is deepened and instruments are built in experiment rooms.
An outdoor area with a total of five natural sound stations surrounds the building. These include a humming stone , a sound forest , a water Spring shell , a metal tube game and a Erdxylophon. The natural sound stations were partly designed in the context of the project by participating children and young people.
The musiculum is barrier-free.
concept
The concept of the musiculum is “Understanding instruments and acoustics with all your senses” and thus pursues the conscious physical and mental experience of music through independent and direct research into musical instruments and musical exhibits.
With a comprehensive instrument repertoire of approx. 250 (partly exotic) instruments as well as various exhibits, the effects of music and physics are to be illustrated. The musiculum describes itself as a children's museum , but not as a museum in the traditional sense: the exhibits are only available as part of the projects and cannot be visited on your own, as the embedding and reflection of the experiences gained in the musiculum are important aspects of the concept. Taking up the curiosity, imagination and creativity of children and young people plays a central role in the concept of the musiculum. The requirement, promotion and strengthening of skills such as independent action, communication and the social behavior of the project participants are also very important.
The musiculum comprises a team of educators, natural scientists, musicians, technicians and craftsmen and works together with freelance workers from the fields of art, dance and drama.
Since it opened in 2009, the musiculum has been a member of the State Association for Cultural Youth Education Schleswig-Holstein e. V. also place of work for the voluntary social year of culture .
Projects
Through the project work, the musiculum pursues the goal of enabling sustainable support for children and young people. The educational projects in the musiculum are divided into a morning and an afternoon area, and cooperation and holiday projects are also offered.
In its role as an extracurricular learning location, the musiculum offers project days and project weeks in the mornings for grades 1-9 of all school types. The school classes can choose the project topics themselves. The offer of the morning projects is specifically aimed at teachers of all school subjects, as the musiculum offers subject-related learning through music through project lessons.
The afternoon area offers free projects such as B. instrument and acoustic projects, instrument workshops, dance or pop song projects. This also includes early musical education for children from the age of 5. The afternoon projects take place over 6–10 times a week and are concluded with a public presentation.
The musiculum is a cooperation partner of various schools in Kiel, most of which are located in socially and economically disadvantaged districts. The cooperation projects, which deal holistically with researching various families of instruments and acoustic phenomena, last a half-year and take place weekly. The offer of the musiculum also includes various inclusive projects for the creative and artistic promotion of children and young people with physical or mental disabilities.
In addition, the musiculum offers holiday projects that usually take place over the first week of the school holidays in Schleswig-Holstein on a specific topic.
Public family concerts have been held regularly at the musiculum since 2014.
The project offers are aimed at all children and young people, regardless of their social, cultural and religious roots and regardless of their physical and mental development. The musiculum is only open to adults for project support or for presentations and public events.
financing
The project fee is one symbolic euro per class or per child in order to ensure that every child - regardless of their financial situation and social background - can participate in the project.
