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.

MINIMAKE
Every Saturday, 2–6 PM
MINIMAKE is an innovative, open workshop format offered by MINISCHIRN that opens up creative spaces of experience for children and their companions. As a low-threshold, inclusive offering, MINIMAKE is aimed at children from daycare age onward, as well as their adult companions such as parents, grandparents, or other caregivers. The focus is on joint exploration, creating, learning, and experiencing. The combination of analog and digital forms of expression allows for novel aesthetic experiences and opens up new learning worlds for children with cultural, technical, and social relevance. The workshops also draw on themes from SCHIRN’s current exhibitions, enabling playful learning within the exhibition context.
