Once again this year, the Handel House will be presenting not only its permanent and current special exhibitions at its Open Day, but also a colourful programme for visitors of all ages.
Free entry
On Sunday, 22 September, the museum will not only present its permanent and current special exhibitions, but also a colourful programme for visitors of all ages. University students will create a fascinating combination of music and improvisation under the name ‘Händel's Harlequins’, which has already become a trademark. The library of the Handel House will be showing historical treasures from its collection. In addition, there are various special tours, even through the restoration workshop, and of course young visitors will also get their share of fun. They can look forward to instrument making and, for the whole family, an exhibition dance with the PERI dance studio and group historical dance in the Glass Hall. Of course, the museum's own Mauer organ will also be playing at the end of the day.
Free admission and a warm invitation!
