Education

Art invites you to look. Until going on a journey in your head. Looking at art inspires, amazes and raises questions. In our museum, students are introduced to real art in a museum environment. Our museum lessons and tours are full of surprising, active working methods that inspire, stimulate and motivate. The lessons are taught by a team of professional museum teachers who receive and guide the students with great enthusiasm.

Tailor-made program
The best projects and museum lessons are created in collaboration with schools. Do you have ideas about a museum visit or do you want to join art projects at your school? The education department is happy to help make it an unforgettable experience for students.

Preparation for school
Good preparation for school ensures a more enjoyable experience in the museum and the pupils learn even more. Before your visit, you will receive digital teaching material in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. During this preparation, the students already practice looking closely. After the preparation, the students have a better idea of ​​what they will see and do during the museum visit. This will enable them to bridge the gap between prior knowledge and expectations and learn more. See here an example of the presentation for primary education (middle and upper years). If the school wishes a different preparation, we are happy to help. Of course, a teacher can use the presentation as a start for their own lesson series.
