Game Afternoon at the City Museum Duisburg: Experience Money History Playfully

Discovering the World of Money through Play

On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the Cultural and City Historical Museum of Duisburg invites you to a special game afternoon centered around the theme of money. From 2 PM to 5 PM, the event combines social gaming with cultural education and offers visitors aged 12 and over a lively access to the exhibition Cash! A History of Money.

Board Games as a Cultural Experience

The focus is on exciting board games that playfully make money, trade, strategy, and economic decisions tangible. The afternoon is supported by the Duisburg game shop Roskothen, which brings a selection of suitable games to the museum. Amid rules, tactical decisions, and surprising twists, a varied exhibition atmosphere emerges where knowledge and entertainment intertwine directly.

Participatory Money History

The permanent exhibition Cash! A History of Money takes you through about six millennia of money history. Coins, means of payment, and historical objects tell stories of trade, ownership, values, and social change. The game afternoon complements this art and cultural historical perspective with an active contemplation of works: money is not only observed, but its rules, possibilities, and consequences are experienced directly.

Cultural Education for Youth and Adults

The format is aimed at guests aged 12 and over and combines aesthetic experience with practical education. Playing together promotes strategic thinking, communication, and a critical view of economic contexts. The event demonstrates how a museum makes historical topics accessible through participatory communication, playful learning, and communal experiences.

Conclusion: A Museum Day with Strategy and History

The game afternoon at the Cultural and City Historical Museum of Duisburg promises an inspiring art experience beyond classic exhibition exploration. Those who wish to not only read about money history but experience it through collaborative play will discover new perspectives on value, ownership, and social interaction. A visit enriches cultural education and makes the exhibition Cash! immediately tangible.
