The main message of the exhibition is to convey to the young audience that although water is a natural resource in Austria, it is nevertheless precious, has a sensitive relationship with our regional and global environment and its availability has a global impact on social power relations.
Visitors learn in a playful way how water is composed, what types of water there are and why water is essential for all life on planet Earth. They learn about the diverse life in water and can experience what a waterless world would be like in a science fiction scenario. Up-to-date information and images are available to draw attention to the current international water situation and the children can produce news reports in the exhibition to skillfully translate their view of the topic into media.
The usefulness of water is also an important aspect: the exhibition covers everything from shipping and everyday hygiene to hydropower.
The children move through the exhibition exploring, experimenting, observing and playing and experience a global theme in various suggestive scenarios that challenge them to act and think because they are both touching and fun.
A membrane divides the children's museum into thematically differentiated exhibition areas. This membrane contains information, pictures, drawings and also objects relating to the theme of the respective room and the items on display. In some rooms, this “info stream” even conceals intermediate spaces containing exhibition objects. These objects can be spotted and discovered by young visitors through diving goggles. In other areas, the Info-Stream becomes an object carrier and takes on a three-dimensional form.
