We invite visitors on a journey through the history of the earth, to a time when the volcanoes of the Vogelsberg were still active. The Vulkaneum in Schotten offers an interactive exhibition that vividly explains the topic of volcanism. On several floors visitors will learn how the volcanoes formed the Vogelsberg, how they still influence it today and what role the climate, the forces of nature and humans play in this process. Beyond the science, we also show the myths and legends that originated from the volcanoes. Experiment stations, interactive exhibits and multi-media installations accompany visitors through the exhibition. Combining knowledge and entertainment, the Vulkaneum is for everyone who wants to get to know the Vogelsberg and its fiery past in a vivid way. It is designed to be interesting and entertaining for children and adults alike.
