New in Munich: Magic Bavaria – The creative and interactive excursion destination for school classes

Are you looking for an unusual excursion destination for school classes in Munich?

Magic Bavaria is the new adventure museum in the city – and ideal for your next class trip , school excursion or an exciting holiday program .

Whether for primary or secondary schools , the museum combines movement, creativity and education – and inspires pupils from the 4th grade onwards as well as teenagers.

The best thing: Magic Bavaria is weather-independent , centrally located and specially tailored to the needs of groups and school classes .

What makes Magic Bavaria so special for school classes?

Magic Bavaria is not an ordinary museum – it is an interactive exhibition with over 30 unique photo backdrops in which students can get creative themselves .

Here, movement is encouraged , teamwork is strengthened and media skills are trained at the same time – with a focus on experiencing, marveling and participating .

The children and young people actively create their own photos , experiment with perspective and light, and experience astonishing optical illusions, mirror worlds and upside-down spaces.

Instead of just walking through rooms, the students play, pose and interact with the exhibition – and in doing so, become creative themselves.

📸 Creativity & media literacy: Students take their own photos

A real highlight for school classes in Munich: The children and young people are not passive visitors, but active designers of their own museum visit .

Whether on the slackline high above Marienplatz, upside down on the ceiling in the Königssaal or having great fun in the XXL ball pit - the students can stage their own creative pictures , alone or in a group.

This allows them to train:

• their visual perception

• their creative expression

• their use of media and photography

An optional free museum quiz about the Bavarian scenery also provides playful learning, team spirit and attention training .

Media education photography workshop for school classes (optional)

For children in 4th grade and above, we offer an in-depth workshop on photography, image composition, and media awareness . This three-hour course is an ideal complement to a museum visit and reinforces media literacy in everyday school life . It is particularly suitable for secondary school students and can be combined with the museum visit upon request.
