FAQ

Everyone is welcome at the KinderKunstLabor. Our focus is on young visitors and their wishes and perspectives. That’s why you will also find age specifications for some educational formats.

The KinderKunstLabor exhibits art by internationally acclaimed artists. The children’s perspective is a key aspect: therefore, the artists and curators always work in a close dialogue with them. The thoughts, feelings, and viewpoints of children and young people are always taken to heart. The art education formats are developed together with our young users. This process creates a space for everyone to experience new perspectives with and through art.

As some members of our art education team are specialised in early childhood cultural education, there are also educational formats for children under 1 year of age.

The KinderKunstLabor will be closed from July 29 to September 11, 2024. It will be open again from September 13. We will then welcome you with the exhibition dream.lab by Rivane Neuenschwander.
