On International Museum Day, the Rastatt City Museum is offering a guided tour for children and families that revolves around coats of arms and guild symbols. Knights once wore their coat of arms on their shields as a sign of recognition. Nobles wanted to use coats of arms to indicate their noble descent. And to this day, all countries and many families have their own coat of arms. We can find coats of arms in many places in the city museum: For example, magnificent gilded coats of arms of the Margraves of Baden-Baden are emblazoned on the walls. One display case is full of coat of arms-like guild symbols of various craft groups. Together with museum educator Eric Schütt, we follow their trail and discover colors, symbols and animals. Afterwards, we will design our own coat of arms using paper and colored pens.
Participation free of charge and without registration. Duration approx. 90 minutes.
The city museum is open to everyone on this day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with free admission to mark International Museum Day.
