Art Safari

A program for children aged 3–5 years, where contemporary art comes to life.

Children aged 3–5 years and their grown-ups take a journey through current exhibitions. Join a small safari of eight little ones and an artist educator, playing games, sharing stories and exchanging ideas along the way.

After your gallery exploration, get messy in the creative studios with hands-on artmaking activities. With new themes every month, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
