Program for Kids & Families
The MAK is the home of creativity! For over 150 years, children both young and old have come to us for ideas: everywhere there are things just waiting to be discovered. Knowledge, history, and visions are taught in a clear, playful, and constantly changing way.
Workshops provide the opportunity for you to get involved and bring your ideas to life. New exhibitions and interesting exhibits should be and want to be discovered in a fun, entertaining, exciting, intellectually stimulating, and creative way. The artistic potential of young visitors to the museum will be encouraged in workshops with creatives from the MAK Educational Team.
