Focke Museum

The Focke Museum in Bremen has been on my list of places to take the kids for some time so the kids were pretty excited when it came time for us to go to a new museum (as we tend to frequent other, more familiar ones). And while I am glad we went, and we all enjoyed our time there, our timing was not the greatest. Between a large portion being close due to renovations and the feature exhibit being a bit too heavy for young children, there wasn't too much left to see. That didn't seem to matter for the kiddos though. Between the doll house sized renditions of traditional Bremer homes, a full size wooden car, a rescue cruiser boat and discovering treasures in the plethora of archives, we were definitely had a nice fill of things to learn about and discover.

Our favorite parts of our visit to the museum?

Milayla definitely gravitated to the cars and the Bremer House scale models.

 I loved seeing the details of all the furnishings. So beautiful!

 And Atticus' jaw dropped in complete amazement when he saw the rescue boat (see picture below, right). All the model boats were also a pretty well-liked item.

I love seeing Milayla and Atticus' faces light up as they discover the world around them.
