A playful encouter with art

The Fondation Beyeler programme offers unforgettable experiences of art to families, who are invited to explore the current exhibitions together and experience art from various perspectives. Workshops provide a chance for children to engage with art in practical ways, by learning about and applying artistic techniques. Events such as our Family Day, Summer Festival, and Museum Night are also ideal occasions for an excursion to Riehen—offering a range of museum games and workshops that encourage children and families to join in and take an active part in the day's events.

Storytelling carpet

Children aged three to six and their parents are invited to take a seat on a brightly colored carpet in front of works in the current exhibition. There they can listen to stories or make up tales of their own. The stories, based on the works, include comments on pictures, background information, and biographical anecdotes, presented in an age-appropriate way that invites the children to look at the works for themselves and invent their own stories [in German].
