## Questions & Answers

1. How much earlier should I arrive before a tour or event? We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the start at the SCHIRN.
1. Where is the meeting point for guided tours? The guides and participants of the respective tour meet on the first floor of the SCHIRN.
1. Can I reserve a spot for a tour, workshop, or another event? Reservations are not possible. Tickets for the respective events are available [online](https://schirn.ticketfritz.de/en/Home/Index), unless otherwise specified for a particular date.
1. Are there tours, workshops, or courses specifically for children? 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. The thematic units – three consecutive sessions for children aged 6-9 and 9-12, and teenagers aged 12-15, as well as six sessions for teenagers aged 15-19 – inspire and encourage new ideas and unconventional ways of thinking and expression.
