Need a break from your parents? When a new exhibition opens at the Kunstmuseum, there's something special for you too: your own opening just for children!

Discover exciting stations where you can participate, explore, and experience. A trained team will look after you—your parents don't have to be there. For children between the ages of 4 and 12. With the kind support of the Freunde des Kunstmuseums Basel.
