The Panoptikum is a place full of wonders, surprises and extraordinary experiences. Once owned by the physician of Baron von Ropp, its collection of curiosities amazed even the most well-travelled noblemen. Here, ordinary animals were transformed into fairytale characters: a wild boar baron, a swan dressed as a bride, a moose smoking a pipe, a marten riding a bicycle, and even a flying little lamb. But the magic of the Panoptikum continues to this day – legend has it that everything created here comes to life!

During the programme, participants will discover the Panoptikum’s extraordinary collection of curiosities – a Wunderkammer, inspired by the centuries-old European tradition of noble families collecting rare and extraordinary objects and wonders. After exploring the fascinating exhibits and soaking up the manor’s Christmas atmosphere, participants will head to the Christmas Snowman Workshop.

Using a combination of eco-friendly natural materials – wooden discs, moss, pebbles, twigs and other decorative elements – each participant will create their own Christmas decoration: a snowman figurine that can either be hung up or displayed as an ornament and taken home as a special souvenir.

A snowman born in the Panoptikum is no ordinary snowman. Legend has it that he can hear every child’s wish and help make it come true…

During the workshop, we’ll put not only our little fingers but also our minds to work. And to make sure they don’t freeze over, the lady of the Panoptikum has prepared a winter-themed quiz for you!
