Yes, a tour specifically designed for children focusing on the themes and works of the exhibition sparks imagination, piques curiosity, and creates a desire for more. After the exhibition visit, colors, chalk, and other materials are available. In a workshop, which always relates thematically to the respective exhibition, children can then become active and creatively capture their impressions.

SCHIRN STUDIO
Designed as an ongoing workshop offering, individual course blocks provide the opportunity for in-depth engagement with concepts, methods, media, and techniques of visual art.
