A family festival full of pictures, stories, and children's laughter
On October 3, 2026, the August Macke House Museum in Bonn invites you to a special family experience as part of Captain Book. Families will discover art, hear stories, and enjoy a lively afternoon in a house where August Macke lived with his family.
Stories, music, and interactive moments for families
The family festival brings together books for every taste, poetry, and music. The exhibition on the life and work of August Macke will also open its doors. For children, art becomes tangible, playful, and age-appropriate.
A house with a strong family history
The museum showcases the former residence and studio of August Macke. Many famous paintings were created right here. This creates a special learning experience for families: art, everyday life, and history blend into a real experience for children and adults.
Participate, marvel, and get creative
The participatory program around the special exhibition is particularly family-friendly. In the Open Children's Studio, river landscapes and paper boats to take home are created. Additionally, there are puppet shows featuring Wolf, the Macke family's dog, and Ingrid Macke. This connects learning, imagination, and shared exploration in a child-friendly manner.
Well-planned for families
The August Macke House Museum offers an accessible building with an educational studio, museum café, and garden. It is easily reachable by bus and train. Important for families: Registration is required for the individual program points.
Conclusion
This family festival connects art, literature, and shared exploration in a particularly warm way. Those looking for an inspiring family day filled with culture, children's programs, and a true museum atmosphere will experience a wonderful holiday in Bonn live on-site.
