PUBLIC EVENTS FOR CHILDREN, FAMILIES & MULTIPLE GENERATIONS

As part of our basic art education programme at the Kunstmuseum Thun and Thun Panorama we offer various events for children, families and multiple generations to accompany each exhibition.

We are a child-friendly museum, so even the very youngest are welcome, whether in a pram or sling. Changing tables and breastfeeding areas are available at the Thunerhof and the Thun Panorama. Children can have fun at a wonderful playground outside each museum, and adults can enjoy a break in a café with a view of the river, park or lake.

A workshop is held for children in parallel with each exhibition opening. A selected theme from the exhibition leads children on a voyage of discovery through the museum galleries, after which they can playfully and creatively process what they have seen and experienced back in the studio (Kunstküche). For unaccompanied children 5 or over.

The event is free of charge.
Duration: 1 hour
Prior registration preferred, but spontaneous participation is also possible:   kunstmuseum@thun.ch, T +41 33 225 84 20

Every year during the summer holidays we take part in the Thun Holiday Pass programme! Upon presentation of their Holiday Pass, children and accompanying adults are granted free admission to the Kunstmuseum Thun and the Thun Panorama for the entire 5 weeks as well as receiving a puzzle booklet (Discover the Museum / Panoramania).
We also offer various free workshops for children, which can be booked directly via the Holiday Pass.

Try on different roles, observe, look for specific details, puzzle, draw and craft – the Discover the Museum booklet guides you through the Kunstmuseum Thun with plenty of fun and games along the way. The puzzle booklet is available free of charge in German, French and English at the Kunstmuseum Thun or can be downloaded here.
