Once per month our studio space is transformed into a space for play and color. Children between the ages of one and two can playfully experience materials together with their parents. Adventures with paper, paints and age-appropriate materials provide impulses to afterwards visit independently the collection or temporary exhibitions of the Kunstmuseum.

For children between one and two years of age together with a parent or adult. We recommend bringing a change of clothes.

Sundays, 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Everyone is invited: children, young persons and adults!

Since 1999 we have been clearing out a collection room in the Kunstmuseum almost once a year in order to present our exhibition for children and young persons. These exhibitions are specifically directed towards a young audience and offer space for participation and actions.

The goal of this exhibition series, which is unique among art museums, is to make it possible to experience art in its many facets and to explore one’s own approach to it. The fact that art is (almost never) allowed to be touched is self-evident for our young museum guests in these exhibition spaces. Becoming familiar with the language, the handwriting or the message of a work of art also means respecting and valuing its uniqueness and individual characteristics. The mysterious paintings of Karin Kneffel were explored from many perspectives with accompanying question cards; the multiples of Joseph Beuys were investigated in the House of Mysteries with flashlights. Sometimes also spreading out right within the museum is a Construction Site, a printing workshop or the Space within a Space by Irene and Christine Hohenbüchler, where there is an opportunity for building and playing. Or multifaceted traces left by the visitors to the exhibition proliferate in the form of drawings or photographs far past the walls of the museum.

Exhibition space, workshop, action space, laboratory, space of play. We are dedicating this exhibition series to children and young persons. All adults are likewise welcome.

With generous support from the Freunde des Kunstmuseums Bonn e.V.

Information about the current exhibition Frank Bölter, ultra all inclusive, which may be visited at the Kunstmuseum since April 18, 2021, may be found here.

Bring along paper and pencil! Then you can draw or write here in the Kunstmuseum. You can use pencils in all the exhibition rooms, but unfortunately not pens of any sort.

Be an eyes-person! Experience everything with your eyes, not with your hands. Because in the museum, it is not permitted to touch the works of art, so that they are not damaged or dirtied.

Do you know the painter August Macke? Many of his paintings are hanging here at the Kunstmuseum Bonn. One is called The Tightrope Walker. Before he painted it with brushes, he did preparatory drawings.

You can find one of these drawings here. You can download it, print it out and color it. Then when you visit the museum, you can compare the colors of your tightrope walker with those of the same figure done by August Macke.

A museum suitcase is waiting for you at the ticket counter!

During your visit to the permanent collection, follow the suitcase symbols alongside the works of art. In the suitcase, you will then find the relevant tasks, games and materials. You can sharpen your eyes in a searching game, draw upside down or create a thread picture.

For children from the age of 5 accompanied by curious adults, buddies, friends, siblings, parents or grandparents.
Lending fee per child: 1 euro

Due to COVID-19, the Museum Art Suitcase is unfortunately not availiable at the moment.

An illuminated table with colorful, transparent rocks; a mirror construction through which the forms are multiplied; colored glasses and colored, spinning tops: you will find these and other materials in two collection rooms on the upper level of the Kunstmuseum. The two ART STATIONS on the themes of VISION and COLOR offer many surprises; perhaps you will see some works of art afterwards “with other eyes.”

Due to COVID-19, the Art Stations are unfortunately not availiable at the moment.

In our CHILDREN’S ROOM in the foyer of the museum, there is space to arrive, rest and play.

Books are waiting for you in a bookcase, and on a playing table there are always things to build, change and display. If you turn the crank, you set in motion a huge display of colors that goes all the way to the ceiling of the museum.

The discoverer’s map is waiting here to help you during your adventurous visit to the museum.
