  • The Klimahaus Bremerhaven is hosting a large-scale community puzzle event with approximately 16,000 pieces.
  • Visitors of all ages can participate by assembling sections of the puzzle, which will eventually form a world map.
  • The completed puzzle, measuring nearly two meters high and over 2.70 meters long, will be displayed in the museum's foyer.

The Klimahaus Bremerhaven has launched an ambitious community project, inviting visitors to help assemble a massive puzzle featuring a world map. With around 16,000 individual pieces, the oversized jigsaw promises an engaging activity for guests of all ages.

Dörte Behrmann from the Klimahaus explained the collaborative nature of the project. "We don't even know when the puzzle will be finished," she said, suggesting it could take days or even weeks. Participants are given boxes containing 36 puzzle pieces each, contributing to the collective effort. Once assembled, the sections will be fixed with a special adhesive to create a cohesive, large-scale artwork.

We don't even know when the puzzle will be finished.

The puzzle's motif is a journey around the world along the eighth meridian, offering educational insights into various travel destinations featured in the exhibition. Some sections, particularly those depicting the sea without distinct patterns, require extra patience from participants. Upon completion, the nearly two-meter-high and over 2.70-meter-long puzzle will be a prominent display in the Klimahaus foyer, serving as a testament to the community's collaborative spirit.

So a huge puzzle is created piece by piece.
