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
for 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 Advent Market are held). Just let the staff
at the ticket office know.
