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.
Studio 2
CreativeLab
Osthaus-DesignLab
24.11.2023 - 28.04.2024
For the exhibition The great seduction. Karl Ernst Osthaus and the beginnings of consumer culture, Studio 2/CreativeLab will be transformed into the Osthaus DesignLab: a digital-hybrid graphic design workshop.
We invite visitors to slip into the role of advertising designers. Personal, critical or comic messages about consumption, advertising, design and beauty can be creatively expressed on posters that are partly analog and partly digital. Photographs of everyday objects from today's world of goods are combined with typical color codes, fonts and motifs from the early 20th century. The historical posters, graphics and objects in the exhibition provide ideas and inspiration. The designed posters can be printed out in the DesignLab and taken home.
We present a selection of the posters created in the Osthaus DesignLab here in our online gallery, which we update regularly. It's worth taking a look!
Schools and Kindergarten
Our program for schools and teachers is only available in German.
