Discovery Bags
If you prefer to explore the museum at your own pace, you can borrow one of our Discovery Bags and bring it into the exhibition. Each bag is filled with tools and tasks designed to inspire new and playful ways of experiencing art. The contents vary depending on the exhibition, and they currently include magnifying glasses, spy glasses, dice, and hourglasses, among other items. You’ll find the Discovery Bags next to the lift in the museum reception.

Workshop Area Upstairs
On the upper floor, a brand-new workshop area has been created. Here, you can spend time drawing with watercolour pencils at your own pace during the museum’s opening hours. These pencils are water-soluble, allowing you to continue your artwork at home using a brush and water to blend the colours. All materials in the workshop are free to use, but we appreciate your help in keeping the space tidy. Come explore, experiment, and let your creativity flow!
