Children at the museum
The Museum of Communication is ideally suited for children. Here, the younger ones can touch things, try them out for themselves and solve puzzles. A special tour of the museum is available for children between the ages of four and eight. A squirrel called Ratatösk guides the children around his world of communication and teaches them fun games. It is a tour of discovery for curious little girls and boys.

Find Ratatösk
Ratatösk? This name is not made up: it is the name of the squirrel in Norse mythology, where it is a communicator – carrying messages up and down the world tree. This is how the dragon at the foot of the tree and the eagle in the crown are able to communicate with each other.
The cheeky mascot has been hidden in 12 locations throughout the museum. Children will find exciting games, activities and puzzles wherever you see his picture.
A tree with lots of peepholes and a paternoster lift form the end of ‘Find Ratatösk’. It is inhabited by many squirrels: they are made every year by pupils from a different school as part of a participatory project. Figures created at Heimberg school are currently on display.
