Entdeckungsreise zu Tante Emma

In the organizer's words:

Program for children aged 6 and over

What was it actually like in the old days, when there were no supermarkets?

With the former corner store Tackenberg (formerly Vitihof Osnabrück), MIK now offers

MIK now has another piece of contemporary history to experience at first hand: The children embark on a lively journey back in time to the shopping world of days gone by, which was so very different from today's supermarkets with their endless variety of offers. In the store ensemble, they experience first-hand how food and household goods used to be sold in small stores. Here, the goods on offer still fit behind a counter. Weighing is done with analog scales and payment is made with cash in DM instead of bank cards. The children playfully discover how the world of goods and the food trade have changed from the post-war period to the present day.
