<h3><strong>THE BALL MUST GO… TO THE MUSEUM!</strong></h3> <p>How long do you think people have been playing with a ball?</p> <p>The answer is: For a long time, a very long time! Ball games have been played for thousands of years, independently of each other, at different times and in different places. Sometimes formally, sometimes as a pastime, sometimes with their feet and then again sometimes even with the hip. No wonder, it doesn&#39;t really take much to play: just a ball, a bit of creativity and of course our deep-rooted urge to play!</p> <p>As part of our digital exhibition <a href="en/exhibitions-events/special-exhibitions/origins/">&#39;Back to Origins: Pre-histories of Football&#39;</a>, we are inviting all visitors to our exhibition on this year&#39;s <a href="https://www.museums.ch/ins-museum/museumstag/museumstag.html">International Museum Day</a> to playfully discover the earliest days of ball games – or even invent your own. Explore the past, create something new: Perhaps the greatest power of a museum!</p> <p></p> <h3><strong>PROGRAM</strong></h3> <p><strong>10.00 - 16.00: Fun learning circuit</strong> (start at the main entrance)</p> <p>Equipped with a ball, you will set out on an independent tour of the museum. You will encounter old ball games, exciting stories from the world of football and many a small task waiting to be solved.</p> <p><strong>11.00 | 13.00 | 14.00 | 16.00: Games HUB</strong> (30 minutes each, takes place in the arena)</p> <p>Would you like to invent your own game, with simple objects, creativity and fun? Then come to the Games HUB!</p> <p></p> <h3><strong>Free admission all day</strong></h3> <p>For families, children, adults, couples and everyone who likes to play games.</p>
