Become an art detective on a picture hunt. Go on an art hunt through the museum’s exhibitions. Find the artworks where the detail belongs and write down the title of the piece. The picture hunt takes you around the museum in a fun and different way.
You can get the correct answers by asking one of the hosts at the ticket desk.

With the Art Suitcase in hand, families with very young children can experience art in a fun and different way. Inside each suitcase, you will find three different activities based on three different artworks. First, find the artwork, then follow the instructions – and you are ready to go.
The activities vary greatly: You might be putting together a puzzle, finding sounds, or using your body. You decide how many of the activities you want to do.
Target group: Ages 3–8. The suitcase must be used by children accompanied by an adult.
Practical info: Find the Art Suitcase at the entrance to one of the current exhibitions. A tour with the suitcase takes about 30 minutes. Please return the suitcase after use. Note that the Art Suitcase follows selected exhibitions and is therefore not always available. If that is the case, a new one is always on its way.
Price: The Art Suitcase is a free offer.
Visit the Sculpture Park, where you can experience beautiful sculptures and let your energy run free.
