Münchhausen Birthday and International Museum Day Bodenwerder

Bodenwerder – Town of the Baron of Lies

Bodenwerder has been known as the Münchhausen town for centuries. Hieronymus Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Münchhausen was born here in 1720, lived here, and it was here that the legendary tall tales surrounding him developed, which are now part of global storytelling culture. Bodenwerder carefully preserves the legacy of its famous son through its museum, townscape, festivals, and cultural events.

Birthday and Museum Day

The combination of Münchhausen's Birthday and International Museum Day is a programmatically astute choice: both events aim to make cultural content accessible to a broad audience. In the Rathauspark, Bodenwerder offers a low-threshold encounter with the figure of Münchhausen and his museum.

Program in the Rathauspark

From 2 PM to 6 PM, a program will be offered in the Rathauspark. The Trio Wolkenriss will provide musical accompaniment, and the Münchhausen play at 4 PM is a compact performance by the amateur theater group. The Münchhausen Museum will be open concurrently from 10 AM to 5 PM and will feature a special exhibition.
