Wildly Fun Summer Holidays at MEISSEN
June 29 - August 30, 2026
When the sun is shining outside, things get delightfully wild at MEISSEN! In the pleasantly cool surroundings of the MEISSEN Experience World, the summer holidays become an exciting adventure for the whole family. With no advance booking required, visitors of all ages can spontaneously immerse themselves in a unique world of discovery.
Young explorers can embark on an exciting treasure hunt through the museum with an exclusive Discovery Pack. Following a trail of paw prints, they uncover the secrets of artist Paul Walther’s fascinating animal world and track down hidden masterpieces throughout the exhibition. By combining the right clues, children solve tricky puzzles with bright-eyed enthusiasm and gradually collect a limited-edition discovery card game to take home.
Those looking to add a creative touch to their summer adventure can visit our open DIY station, where both children and adults can decorate their own porcelain mug made from the famous “White Gold.” The result is a truly personal keepsake and a lasting reminder of a wonderful holiday experience.
Before or after their museum adventure, families can enjoy a unique behind-the-scenes look at traditional craftsmanship in the Demonstration Workshop, where they can follow the individual stages of porcelain production. The excursion can then be rounded off with refreshments for little detectives at the Café & Restaurant MEISSEN.
After exploring the museum, visitors can rediscover the variety of animal motifs and the beauty of Meissen porcelain in the MEISSEN Store—and even take a piece of the experience home with them.
DIY Station – Create and Decorate Your Own MEISSEN Porcelain Mug
Create your very own MEISSEN porcelain mug together with your loved ones and give the gift of something truly precious: quality time shared.
