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.

09.07.2024 – 06.10.2024
In summer, Studio 2/CreativeLab on the first floor of the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum will be transformed into an open sculpture experience space; it will become the SculptureLab. Anyone can be a sculpture here, climb onto a plinth, assume classic sculptor poses, experience what the support leg/playing leg motif is about and much more. There is even room for entire groups of figures on a large plinth, and to make it really fun, you can reach deep into a box of clothes provided. With various utensils, large organic shapes made of cardboard and stretchable fabrics, users of the creative lab can change their appearance, become an abstract work of art themselves and present themselves in front of a photo wall. The SculptureLab also becomes the basis for guided tours with contact exercises, still images and scenic games, which relate in particular to the bar installation by Liora Epstein on the 2nd floor. In addition, the collection presentation
