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, 28 September, it's that time again: the museum will not only be presenting its permanent and current special exhibitions, but also a colourful programme for visitors of all ages. The choir of the Kindersingakademie Halle, conducted by Marie-Therese Mehler, will give an insight into its current work in a colourful programme. The library of the Handel House will be displaying historical treasures from its collection. In addition, there will be various special tours, even through the restoration workshop. In addition to the concert by the Kindersingakademie, visitors can enjoy making their own rhythmic music in a drum circle. The museum's own Mauer organ will be played before the historic Hammond organ from the instrument exhibition brings this special day at the museum to a close.
Free admission and a warm invitation!
