Activities during the autumn school holidays

Music takes centre stage this autumn half-term at Museon-Omniversum. Visitors of all ages can dance to the beat, play instruments and find out what goes into making music. The activities tie in with the ongoing MUSIC! exhibition, which explores how music works and what it does to people in an interactive way.

Large-format films in the dome theatre

The dome theatre at Museon-Omniversum is one of the few places in The Hague where you can watch large-format films on a spectacular curved screen. During the autumn school holidays, several films are screened that connect well to the museum's themes. Check the Museon-Omniversum website for the full film programme.
