Tour and workshop for children
On Sundays, children and upwards are welcome to join our special guided tours (in Swedish). The tour is followed by a session in the Workshop where we make things in different materials depending on the theme of the day.
Entrance ticket to our exhibitions is required for those over 18 years.
Dates, times & tickets: Tour and workshop
Drop-in workshop: paint & draw
Sometimes we have a drop-in wokshop where you can paint and draw. You can drop in without going on the guided tour, and we use simpler techniques and materials, such as paint and crayons. There are no themes – it’s an open painting and drawing workshop. No ticket needed. Free of charge and suitable for all ages.
Dates & times: Drop-in workshop
Holiday events
