Education

The art education department invites you to actively experience the exhibitions in the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum and in Haus Lange and Haus Esters: sensually, creatively, critically and dedicatedly.

The offerings available from the art education department are especially targeted to all visitors: families, children, adolescents, adults and people with disabilities. You are welcome to observe art, to consider and talk about art and even to work artistically yourself.

Visit the rooms of the art education department on the ground floor of the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, take active part in weekend workshops, at guided tours for families, at KunstImPuls events or at our various holiday offerings.

Do Your Own Thing. Free Creativity and Cultural Participation in the Migration Society is a project of the Kunstmuseen Krefeld the Kunstmuseen Krefeld for disadvantaged children and young people between the ages of 5 and 18 in cooperation with local and national partners. The project aims to help children and young people discover art and culture for themselves. For more than a year, outreach projects in the media of photography, painting, theater, music, graffiti and performance have been carried out in the various districts of the city. In the course of the projects, the participants also get to know the Kunstmuseen Krefeld. In the museum as a place of culture, they gather inspiration for their own work. All of this would not be possible without the intensive cooperation with youth centers, schools, associations and citizens‘ initiatives, as well as with the Integration Department in the Department of Integration and Migration of the City of Krefeld, the Krefeld Neighborhood Management, and the Kresch-Theater. The project, which was applied for through Kulturraum Niederrhein e.V., has regional connections through cooperation with the Lehmbruck Museum, which initiates similar projects in Duisburg, and through the Department of German as a Foreign and Second Language at the University of Duisburg Essen.

Participating partners in Krefeld Department of Migration and Integration, Neighborhood Management Krefeld, Kresch-Theater, freischwimmer e.V.., Inter.Aktion e.V., WERKHAUS e.V., SpieDie, Jugendzentrum Stahlnetz, Freizeitzentrum Süd, Bürgerinitiative Rund um St. Joseph e.V., Freiherr-vom-Stein- Realschule, Kurt-Tucholsky-Gesamtschule, Mariannenschule
