UNIKATUM Children's Museum Leipzig

The UNIKATUM Kinder Museum Leipzig is an interactive cultural institution in the Plagwitz district, aimed at school groups and families. Founded in 2010 by Annegret Hänsel, the museum is run on a volunteer basis by a nonprofit limited liability company (gGmbH) and supported by a friends' association. Visitors can explore changing annual exhibitions on social themes, often created in collaboration with students in summer workshops. Since its expansion in 2017, the historic Café Goetz building on Zschochersche Straße has offered space for several exhibitions, a courtyard garden, and a museum café. In addition to the annual main exhibition, there are permanent offerings such as "The Kingdom of Imagination" for preschoolers and "The Invention of the Future" for teenagers. The museum has received multiple awards, including the Saxon Prize for Socio-Cultural Engagement and the City of Leipzig's Family-Friendliness Award.
