For example, we supported the production of the children’s museum guide “Treasure Hunt with Schmucki the Pearl Pig at the Jewellery Museum Pforzheim for Young and Old”, published by ARNOLDSCHEN. This book sends its readers on an exciting treasure hunt through the history of jewellery, accompanied by Schmucki the Pearl Pig, whose keen sense for hidden treasures guides them along the way.
Once a month, a public treasure hunt with Schmucki takes place as a guided tour in cooperation with the Raphael Mürle Puppet Theater—either at the Jewellery Museum or at the Technical Museum. This event, part of the Cultural Office’s Family Sunday programme, would not be possible without the support of our association.
We also make the “Schmucki on the Move” format possible, allowing the Pearl Pig to go on excursions outside the museum. Schmucki has already visited the library and its branches several times, where she has playfully shared knowledge about jewellery and her hometown of Pforzheim with children and families.
In addition, we support selected guided tours and workshops based on themes from the museum’s collection—such as animal motifs, gemstones, and pocket watches—or inspired by special exhibitions.
The mobile Children’s Jewellery Museum, a chest filled with jewellery drawers, turns a museum visit into an interactive adventure. Children are encouraged not only to look, but also to touch and try things out.
In the workshops we support, children and young people have the opportunity to get creative themselves. Together with jewellery designers, participants design and create their own unique pieces, which they can then take home.
