Who doesn’t know the type of museum in which you have to walk through the exhibition quietly and in which you can only look at everything from afar? Things are very di erent in the Dynamikum Pirmasens! As a “join in“ museum it invites visitors of all ages to explore various natural and technical phenomena on 160 interactive experimenting stations, which are spread over 4,000 sqm, and to therefore quench their inquisitiveness in a playful manner. The theme is “movement” – be it in the sense of “moving something” or „to move“. In addition, the Dynamikum is suitable for kids birthday parties as well as corporate events and o ers rooms that can be used for lectures and educational lessons. Furthermore, a disc golf course including 12 courses is located in the Country Park Strecktal, adjacent to the Dynamikum. mikum.de .dyna www
