Code of behaviour?

Depending on the museum, please put your outdoor clothes and backpacks on the coat rack or in a storage locker. Also, remember appropriate behaviour in a museum: It is important to behave in a calm manner and share your museum experience by speaking quietly and respecting other museum visitors. Look, but do not touch. This way, the artefacts and works of art in our collections remain intact also for future generations to explore and admire.

Exhibition Games in the Cavalry Museum

The Horse Quiz

A playful and short quiz about the best friend of the calvalry soldier: a horse. The quiz is for every museum visitor of any age. Only the true horse fan – or the person who has enough luck on their sleeve – can get all of the answers right. You can find the quiz near the museum shop on the side of a shelf or you can ask help from the staff. You can participate in the quiz with your own smart device through a QR-code.

In Hoofprints – Seeking Pictures and Letters

A photo hunt that can be done independently by, for example, a child and their guardian. Participants are seeking items with the help of photos in the halls of the Cavalry Museum. In the end they will solve a mystery sentence that will lead to a surprise. Ask about the photo hunt from the museum's ticket counter.
