Visit of the Dialogue Museum in Frankfurt - Discover the Unseen

28 April 2016

The concept of Dialogue in the Dark is simple: visitors are being led by blind guides in small groups through specially designed darkened rooms. Scent, sounds, wind, temperature and textures convey the characteristics of daily environments – for example a park, a city, a boat cruise or a bar. Daily routines gain a new dimension. The tour itself lasts for about one hour, but the effects can last a lifetime. After the tour we will meet at a café and make ourselves comfortable in a relaxed atmosphere.

Visit to the Frankfurter Goethe-House

12 January 2016

Goethe? A household name for everyone. In each district are streets named after him. The oldest university in Hessen bears his name. His biography is known to almost everyone, but have you ever been in the house of his birth? In this house, the famous German poet, philosopher and scientist grew up to his 26 years. He was enthusiastic about the art, science and international understanding; we can see his paintings, his discoveries and the correspondence with the other philosophers. We invite you to a guided tour of his house of his birth as one of our Social Events.
