Educational programs for schools

In addition to standard tours, the Brewery Museum in Pilsen offers school groups a special educational program.

The educational programs are designed in particular for students of primary schools. However, it is possible to customize the content for high schools as well.

The educational programs use the exhibitions and layout of the Brewery Museum to cover various topics, such as history, traditional crafts, etc.

At present, the Brewery Museum offers 3 educational programs. Although each of them focuses on a different topic, the principle and style is the same:

  • A trained guide leads the program
  • The educational program is fun and interactive
  • The students work with “worksheets” which they use to record their newly-gained knowledge and information. These worksheets can even be used back in the classroom
  • In addition to their worksheets, students also receive a certificate for successfully completing the program

!!!! New - from 1st February 2012 there is a brand new educational programme called "Forgotten crafts" prepared for you in German language. Ideal supportive thing for schools focused on teaching German language and classes interested in history and German. Looking forward to your visit.

Chapters from the history of Pilsen I – How to build a city

Students can deepen their knowledge in a fun and interactive way and not just of the history of Pilsen. Thanks to a unique wooden model, they will have the opportunity to build the city of Pilsen and to understand the dynamics and development of the city.

Chapters from the history of Pilsen II – What life was like in a medieval city

As the name suggests, this program introduces students to the medieval city, where the atmosphere of an historic building is perfectly evoked by the Brewery Museum. The guide familiarizes children with the history and evolution of everyday human activities.
In the first part, students learn about how many people medieval Pilsen had and what the society looked like. In a fun and playful way, they learn about what people ate in the past, how they played, what their hygiene and body care was like. The second part of the program uses an educational workshop complete with equipment. Here students work with life-size painted, wooden panels that show a modern and historic household.
