PROGRAMME
2019
JANUARY TO DECEMBER
SHOPPING IN THE MARKET SQUARE
Many people combine their visit to the museum with
a bit of shopping. The little shops are charmingly laid
out, and there is always someone on hand to help you.
Some of the products on offer are handmade and typical
of the region. If you are coming to the market square at
Hessenpark just to shop or for a bite to eat, entry to this
part of the site is free of charge (except when the plant
market and the Christmas market are held). Just let the
staff at the ticket office know, and then hit the shops.
