Why go

Visitors who want a break from painting and church architecture can examine how sport became part of public life. The hands-on elements make the collection more engaging for mixed-age groups, while the warehouse setting gives the museum a clear place in the riverside landscape.

What to look for

  • The exhibition connects sporting objects with the people and events behind them.
  • Interactive stations provide a physical counterpoint to the historical displays.

Useful to know

  • Use the Rhine-side location to combine the museum with the nearby Chocolate Museum.
  • Give the interactive sections enough time if visiting with children.
