FOR KIDS


Art Brut speaks to youngsters, and the museum encourages this interaction. Various activities exist to help children to experience the Collection de l’Art Brut in their own way.

Workshops bring youngsters closer to the act of creating or a particular set of themes, drawing on their gift for observation and personal interpretation. Each youngster leaves the museum with his creation in hand and a tasty snack in his stomach!

Ceramics children’s workshop, for children aged 5–10 years. Duration: 2 hour. Price: CHF 10 per child.
After taking in the 6th Art Brut Biennial, you may be inspired to sculpt a three-dimensional face of your own out of clay. Gaze into the mirror, study your features and produce your very own life-size self-portrait. Will you take a minimalist, highly expressive approach like Kōmei Bekki? Will you add spines in the style of Shinichi Sawada?

Children’s workshop: “Celestial exploration” for children aged 6–12 years. Duration: 1.45hour. Price: CHF 10 per child.
Grab your paintbrushes and colours and produce your own abstract composition using nothing but dots, lines and your own imagination. Slowly but surely, you’ll see shapes and forms emerge on the page – some simple, others complex, but each reminiscent of something from the real world.
Open your mind, unleash your creativity and draw inspiration from the exhibition "Magalí Herrera, A Spark of Light in this World".
