Frida und Fred, Children's museum in Augarten, Graz, Austria
Frida und Fred is a children's museum in Augarten designed for young visitors to learn by doing rather than watching. The exhibition spaces feature hands-on activities organized by age group, allowing kids to explore topics through direct engagement and experimentation.
The museum opened in 2003 and has since grown into one of Styria's most visited educational institutions. Its creation marked a turning point in how Graz approaches learning spaces designed specifically for children.
The Knopftheater within the museum presents regular performances from Thursday to Sunday, introducing children to theatrical arts through age-appropriate shows.
The museum sits in the Augarten park and is accessible by public transport, with straightforward navigation once you arrive. Plan for a full visit to explore the different areas thoroughly, as there is much to discover at your own pace.
Children around age eight and up can participate in a special exhibition where they write and develop their own stories in a dedicated creative space. This opportunity transforms visitors into authors and encourages creativity through hands-on storytelling.
