Senior Citizens' Afternoon at Porzellanikon Hohenberg


On Wednesday, 17 November 2021, Porzellanikon - Staatliches Museum für Porzellan, Hohenberg a.d. Eger will host an afternoon for senior citizens entitled "Bunte Trinkkultur" (Colourful Drinking Culture). It starts at 2 p.m.: Curator Thomas Miltschus will take participants on a tour of the permanent exhibition, during which they will learn interesting facts about the development of the drinking culture of tea, coffee and chocolate since the 18th century. Why do cups and pots for the respective drinks look different and how can you tell which drink belongs to which tableware? The tour is followed by a creative programme. Paints and brushes are available and everyone can paint a piece of porcelain of their own choice under the guidance of an experienced porcelain painter. During a cosy get-together with coffee and cake, visitors can exchange ideas and let the afternoon slowly come to an end. The next event will take place on 15 December 2021.

The senior programmes deal with changing topics and last about 2 hours. The price is 9.50 € plus museum admission per person and includes guided tour, creative programme and coffee and cake. Registrations are necessary and can be made at besuchercenter(at)porzellanikon.org or by phone +49 9287-918000. The 2G rule applies.
