Open Studio


First explore the Museum yourself and then head for the studio – or the other way round? Every first Sunday of the month, our studio is open to anyone who before or after touring the Museum wishes to be creative, explore things, or experiment. The studio is run by two art educationalists who are at hand with support and advice and the one or other surprise.

Date: on the first Sunday of each month, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Meeting point: HAUPTBAU, studio
Free of charge
