You see a boy opening one of the two doors of a mini house and smiling at the camera. In a round window hole between the doors, you see another boy sitting and building a tower out of wooden blocks.
Find Ratatösk
until Mo, 19.08.2030

Ratatösk? This name is not made up: it is the name of the squirrel in Nordic mythology, where it is a communicator – carrying messages on the world tree. This is how the dragon at the foot of the tree and the eagle in the crown are able to communicate with each other.

The cheeky mascot has been hidden in 12 locations in the museum. Children will find exciting games everywhere you see his picture.

A tree with many peepholes and a paternoster lift form the end of ‘Find Ratatösk’. The tree is home to 35 Ratatösks made in the 2016/2017 school year by pupils from the Lorraine School in Bern. This participation project is carried out every year with a different school.
