“It always clicks when you turn it, and now I know why. I’ve found out why it clicks.”
Here’s what you’ll discover in the Kids’ Kingdom
Test your strength on the block and tackle systems. Photo: Deutsches Museum
Block and Tackle Systems – Muscle Power times three!
Can you hoist yourself up? Or lift something that is heavier than you? With pulleys, that’s child’s play! They redirect the power – and can help to save power in the process. Which block and tackle system works best? Count the pulleys and compare the results.
Where else can you find block and tackle systems in the Deutsches Museum? Have a look in the Marine Navigation exhibition, the Physics and the Museum History exhibitions!
“I really, really, really liked it. I definitely want to come back. It was so cool!”

Light Experimenting with light
Here, you’ll be amazed by the variety of experiments with light! What do colours have to do with light? Place a glass prism in the white beam of light. Can you see the rainbow when you rotate it? White light is actually made up of many different colours.
When light enters the glass, it is refracted and the colours of the rainbow become visible. You can also experiment with the mirrors, the metal stencils and the coloured objects.
“I like the guitar – it’s really big. I wish I was that big.”

Giant Guitar
Not only is it possible to play the giant guitar – you can also crawl inside it!
Pluck one of its strings. What do you feel?
Use your hands to feel the sound’s vibrations on the walls of the guitar.
The hollow wooden body enhances the sound of the instrument.
Count the guitar strings! The giant guitar is a replica of a very old guitar and therefore only has five strings.
You can find more musical instruments in the Music Automata area.
Don’t miss out!Interactive programmes and workshops take place regularly in the Kids’ Kingdom!
