The event is aimed at adults and is part of the Arithmeum's workshops, which also cover topics such as abacus, binary calculations, or cryptography. According to the museum, these offerings are suitable for groups of up to 15 people and invite participants to practically learn calculation methods from other cultural contexts. This creates an event experience that combines expertise and a spirit of exploration.

Authentic Museum Atmosphere in Bonn

The setting could hardly be more appropriate: The Arithmeum is located at Lennéstraße 2 in Bonn, is barrier-free, and is accessible by subway to Universität / Markt as well as by bus or train via the main train station. There are no parking facilities directly at the house for drivers; instead, nearby parking garages in downtown Bonn are recommended. This makes the journey easy to plan, and the museum experience is easily accessible.
