On the family tours at the Lauf Industrial Museum, children and adults embark together on an exciting journey into the world of technology, craftsmanship and everyday life in times gone by. There is plenty to discover amongst historic machines, old mills, a steam engine and a former factory.
The tours are specially designed for families and combine interesting stories with a creative craft activity afterwards. This allows visitors of all ages not only to experience history, but also to get actively involved themselves.
Particularly popular are the interactive stations, where technical concepts can be explored in a playful way. A water playground and other family activities make a visit to the museum a varied experience for the whole family.

Night at the Museum – ever since this cinema classic, everyone has dreamt of visiting a museum when it’s actually closed. Fortunately, Lauf’s old town is always open. By torchlight, we set off on a night-time discovery tour, during which the old town literally appears in a completely different light. A number of surprises await participants in the darkness, including at least one culinary treat. Don’t forget: bring a torch with you for the tour (please no headlamps)!
