Guided tours or Workshop sessions
Bring your students and use the museum as your classroom! Experience an inspiring and dynamic environment, discover new perspectives. The permanent collection and temporary exhibitions can be used for studies in several subjects relating to the school curriculum. Book a guided tour of the Moderna Museet collection or the temporary exhibitions.
Seeing and discussing art stimulates the students’ ability to analyse what they see. In the encounter with art they practise putting thoughts into words, listening to others and daring to think critically. Moderna Museet offers students the opportunity to understand themselves and their world better through art. Here they can learn about the art in the museum collection and the historical and cultural context that engendered it.
We also offer inspiring Workshop sessions. In a Workshop session the students get to work both practically and theoretically. Taking a specific idea, issue or theme in an artistic oeuvre or a particular work of art as our starting point, we work in groups on conceptual, explorative and process-oriented projects.

However, the moment the picture was taken the revolver was pointing at a camera. As she aims at the camera lens she takes a self-portrait.

Parallel Worlds

Eija-Liisa Ahtila’s cinematic installations challenge habitual perspectives and disclose different perceptive worlds. She is a seminal narrator in moving images, who probes questions on what it really means to be human and a subject. Recurring in her works is a condition of uncertainty – about distances in time and space, and ambiguous mental ...
