Art Education

Art Education ― alive and diverse

We want to rouse interest and generate excitement for contemporary art in children, teenagers, adults, and families! For this exact purpose, the art education department of the Kunstpalais offers a diversified accompanying program for each of our exhibitions—depending on the occasion, exhibition, and content of the art.

Our extensive program includes guided tours, art talks, practical workshops, lectures, artists’ workshops, movie nights, and activities for all visitors from age 0 to 100. Targeted programs, interactive and open structures allow for a diverse approach to art and adjustments to the individual’s needs.
For educational institutions like schools, kindergartens, day care centers, and study groups the educational department of the Kunstpalais develops guided tours and workshops for each exhibition that are coordinated with the individual syllabus. This way the contact between contemporary art and school is facilitated.
Do you have any suggestions or specific ideas for your own projects at Kunstpalais? We are looking forward to hearing your ideas and wishes.  
Gladly we will introduce you to our different programs and we are looking forward to hearing your questions and seeing you registrations! In our event calendar, you can check when an event will take place.
Guided Tours

The Kunstpalais offers guided tours for children, teenagers, and adults. Content and aim of our guided tours are tailored to the participantsʼ needs. In an open dialogue with the visitors, our professional art mediators touch upon the artworks, their meaning, and conception, as well as the artists and their techniques. We offer new perspectives, fascinating insights, and one or two aha-moments. Below you can find information about our wide-ranging program of guided tours.

Sunday tour
Every last Sunday of the month at 4 p.m., we offer a public tour where you can learn more about contemporary art and artists. For 60 minutes, you can immerse yourself in the exhibition(s) together with our museum educators and ask any questions you may have. Exciting information about the concept, the works, and their significance will give you a broader view of the exhibition.

Curator's tour
During the curator's tour, you will have the special opportunity to talk to the curator of the respective exhibition. Here you will gain personal insights into the selection and hanging of the works, the conception of the exhibition, and, above all, the curator's enthusiasm for the artist. Curator's tours take place at the beginning and end of the exhibition period.

Foreign language tours
We also offer foreign language tours on request. Our art educators speak English, French, Italian, and Russian. We are constantly working to expand our foreign language offerings.

Length: 60 minutes
Participation fee: 3€ plus admission fee
