The CVAR organises creative workshops for families with children on weekends and school holidays throughout the year. Our workshops are inspired either by the museum’s permanent collections or from temporary exhibitions, and combine creativity, exploration and play.

Paintings, objects, costumes and historical photographs become the stimulant for children to approach art and history, reflect upon them, discuss and explore and mainly spend memorable moments in the museum.
