Museum Theatre
The actors of the the Museum Theatre have been bringing everyday Hessian history to life since 2008. With its own museum ensemble and the specially produced performances, the Museum Theatre is a unique selling point of the Hessenpark Open Air Museum. The historically sound and source-based representations are a central component of the museum’s knowledge transfer. They make history tangible for visitors of all ages. People are always at the centre of the action of the Museums Theatre’s performances. How did the people of Hesse live and work since the early modern period? What was their life like over the centuries? In the company of historical figures we go on a journey through time into bygone worlds.
Living history
In the Hessenpark Open Air Museum the Museum Theatre has a variety of formats to choose from:
Theatre Tours
During the theatre tours visitors can immerse themselves into different epochs of Hessian history and get to know our Museum from a different perspective. Where else do you meet nagging market women, talkative country postmen or secretive craftsmen in their natural surroundings?
Open Air Plays
The open air theatre plays bring our historic buildings to life in a unique way. The houses not only serve as a stage, but also become a lifelike setting for the joys, sorrows and lives of our historical figures and their eventful stories.
