Max, the prehistoric giant tortoise, has been living at the Mainburg Town Museum since 2012, in the ‘Hare, Deer and Dog-Bear’ exhibition.
As the museum was undergoing refurbishment, she set off on a holiday. Not knowing where to go, she asked the children for help during the last summer holidays.
The children sent numerous painted and drawn suggestions to the Mainburg Town Museum, which are now on display in an exhibition.
