The new DASA Work World Exhibition in Dortmund is designed for children of all ages with its various stations. For the youngest, who cannot yet read, the little place "Anytime" opens its doors. Here, people with exciting professions live. They invite you to their town to take care of everything on time, quickly or slowly, simultaneously, very early in the morning or late at night, throughout the year or in the right rhythm. The children meet characters like the cook, who clarifies what "simultaneity" means, or the archaeologist, who has a special understanding of "the past." A total of 14 stations invite three to seven-year-olds to a multifaceted pastime.

Children aged 8 and up explore five locations interactively on an adventurous expedition. The personal wristband leads them into space, into the jungle, to the laboratory, into the city, or to the watch workshop. There, they meet exciting professionals like the naturalist with a "seasonal tree hairstyle" or the lab technician, who has a hundred years of experience. With a bit of physics, mathematics, history, biology, and a lot of play, the children immerse themselves in various time themes. At numerous interactive stations, they can shape their personal perception of time. In the end, there is a U(h)certificate.

The exhibition areas are clearly distinct in design, so the children always know which area they are in. In two 60-minute workshops, the younger ones discover together with the dragon Muckl what daily routines and seasons are. Among the older ones, the "time goblins" are unleashed, who embark on a fast-paced hunt for the clock in 90 minutes. A guided exploration tour through "On the Trail of the Clock" can also be booked as a program for children's birthdays. A themed day takes families into space. Walks to the "weather plants" round off the offerings.

"On the Trail of the Clock" is an exhibition of the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums Mannheim and the Graz Children’s Museum FRida & freD, made possible by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
