Halloween at the Museum: Ghost Hunting with Flashlights
When fossils suddenly switch places, animal specimens disappear, and mysterious sounds echo in the old Jesuit college, an unusual discovery tour begins at the Natural History Museum Bamberg. On October 31, 2026, Dr. Alfred Schlotterschreck leads brave visitors through the dark museum and takes them on an exciting quest intertwining natural history, history, and Halloween spookiness.
The Museum as a Nighttime Experience Space
The exhibition transforms into an atmospheric course of shadows, historical rooms, and natural history objects on Halloween night. Only the glow of personal flashlights guides the way through the darkness. Fossils, animal specimens, and the creaking beams of the former Jesuit college create a special spatial effect.
Ghost Hunting with Dr. Alfred Schlotterschreck
The genuine ghost hunter Dr. Alfred Schlotterschreck attempts to uncover the mysterious happenings together with the participants and figure out what the ghosts actually want. The tour combines playful exploration with cultural education and offers a new perspective on the collections of the Natural History Museum.
Fossils, Animal Specimens, and Aesthetic Experience
In the dark, the perception of the work changes: beams of light direct attention to forms, materials, and details, while shadows re-stage familiar exhibits. The natural history exhibition transforms into a sensory art experience, where scientific communication, historical architecture, and narrative spookiness intertwine.
An Exciting Experience for Families
The approximately one-hour flashlight tour is aimed at brave explorers aged six and above. The format combines an unusual exhibition atmosphere with child-friendly excitement and makes the museum collection a vivid place for learning and experiencing. Flashlights should be brought along.
Conclusion: A Brave Discovery Tour Through the Dark Museum
Halloween at the Museum promises an extraordinary aesthetic experience between fossils, animal specimens, historical architecture, and mysterious stories.
