Yes, the Cezanne exhibition is accompanied by a richly varied schedule of events catering to all age groups. Detailed information and dates are available here.

The Cezanne exhibition features a watercolour studio specially set up within the museum space. All visitors are invited to give free rein to their own creativity, taking their inspiration from Cezanne’s works to explore the practice of watercolour painting. The studio is open daily 11 a.m.–5 p.m. and Wednesdays until 7 p.m..

The exhibition closes with the short film Cezanne on art (2025) by Albert Oehlen and Oliver Hirschbiegel. Inspired by conversations between Cezanne and his friend, the writer Joachim Gasquet, the film fuses art, philosophy and landscape into an atmospheric evocation of the artist—with Sean O’Brien, Sam Riley and Nichole Galicia in the lead roles. Filmed in the foothills of Montagne Sainte-Victoire and in the Bibémus Quarries, it captures the light and the fascinating atmosphere of the landscape that so influenced Cezanne’s painting. The film is screened in English with German subtitles.
