Children's Book Museum Petershain (in foundation) / Muzej za źiśece knigły wiki (w załoženju)

German-language children's books after 1945

Building / plot situation

The children's book museum is still in the start-up phase. The exhibition will be established in the premises of a building erected towards the end of the 19th century on a former three-sided farm in Neupetershain-Nord. In the coming years, an extension of the building is planned, as part of which a comprehensive renovation of the outer shell (roof, façade, windows) will be carried out. The museum is a project of the association "Grundschule für hochbegabte Kinder Neupetershain-Nord e. V.".

Characteristics

The planned permanent exhibition focusses on the development of children's literature since 1945. The collection includes picture books, children's books, books for young people, children's non-fiction books and school books. Special emphasis is placed on children's literature from the German Democratic Republic from 1949 to 1989, as well as special exhibitions on children's authors, literary themes and objects from children's everyday lives. The exhibition is designed in such a way that it is regularly reorganised, for example to present newly acquired exhibits.
