Daycare & preschool formats in the exhibitions

We present here our daycare and preschool formats for special exhibitions.

Our daycare and preschool programme is geared towards questions about art appropriate to the developmental level and needs of the children. Playful and sensory methods are used to introduce children to the museum as a place for adventure and experimentation. The children’s joy in seeing, thinking and experiencing is the main focus.

All our offerings are dialogue-based and interactive. We always concentrate on a small selection of works. Children are able to try out creative techniques while looking at the originals. Our 60- and 90-minute activities take place in the galleries. The 90- and 120-minute daycare and preschool activities combine a visit to the exhibition with hands-on creativity in our studios.

Longer-term projects with several consecutive dates can of course also be booked. You are welcome to freely combine your desired formats from our range or coordinate in-depth themes with us.

On request, we can also adapt formats to different age levels.

In addition to the activities in the special exhibitions, we also offer digital activities for daycare and preschool groups. Find out more on the following pages.

IMPRESSIONISM: PICTURE THE MOMENT! 4 years and older

The Impressionists liked to spend time outdoors in order to capture special moments for eternity. We will trace their processes and explore the artworks created by the Impressionists with our bodies and senses.

How does a walrus move? What motions does the water in the Alster Lake make when it sloshes against the side of a rowboat? And what is the actual shape of a patch of light? We go with the flow, sometimes rigid and sometimes more flexible. In addition to our own bodies, light and shadow will help us to experiment in the exhibition space. In the process, we will learn what fascinated the Impressionists and what is special about their observations and their artistic methods of representation.

ISA MONA LISA 4 years and older

How do you imagine a person? We often only see what we already know. But is that the whole truth? When you hear the word »woman«, what image comes to mind?

In this exhibition, we look at modern art together and get to know many artists who broaden our view. We ask lots of questions, talk about them. Creative hands-on activities help for a better understanding of the art.

The programme is dialogue-based and interactive. We work with a small selection of works as examples. Creative techniques are used in front of the originals.
