On the weekend of November 29 and 30, people of all ages can learn about art and artistic techniques at various stations around the museum. Visitors can also try out these techniques for themselves and join guided tours and workshops. The “Volkswagen Group Children's Weekend” focuses on children's perspectives and needs. Registration in advance is not required.
Benita von Maltzahn, head of Cultural Engagement at Volkswagen Group, believes that it is important “to make greater efforts in our society to familiarise people with art and culture. When children and young people discover artists' ideas and attitudes for themselves, experience different perspectives on the world and develop their own views in the process, this lays the foundation for a successful democracy.”
Till Fellrath, Director of the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart: “A weekend dedicated entirely to children sends a strong signal for the future. We are turning the museum into an open, creative space for all. We would like to thank the Volkswagen Group for its ongoing commitment, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to expand our offerings with this special weekend.”
