Program

Speech, writing, signs, gestures, expressions, singing, music, painting, dance… All that and lots more is communication.

Trains run on iron rails. Steel grids make house walls stronger. The kitchen drawers are filled with stainless steel cutlery. Braces are held together with wires. There are clothes fabrics with silver threads woven into them. And there’s a tiny metal ball sitting in the end of a ballpoint pen…

Why is the pencil-sharpener-monster so mean? And can an eraser really only rub out, or can it create new worlds? Together with our experts, children and young people work as a team to tell new stories.

We take play seriously at ZOOM Children’s Museum. That is why ZOOM offers a special place for young children with various play activities especially designed to stimulate young children’s motor skills and cognitive and social abilities. Haptic stimuli, colorful objects, inclined planes, a water mattress and a tunnel of mirrors hone the perception and differentiation skills of toddlers and young children.

Discover spring-like patterns in the museum - in the works of Gustav Klimt as well as in the magazine "Der Heilige Frühling". Let spring come to your studio with your artwork!

We explore the projects in the exhibition and then build models based on our own ideas.

In this workshop you will learn the printing technique monotype. This artistic technique is so special because only one copy can be printed and no two prints look alike. We’ll experiment with colors and shapes, and the unique images created will be yours to take home.

Together we play and fantasize our way through the mysteries of the night for two hours: we listen and creep, snore and rumble, run and dance. From funny monsters to flying beds, everything is allowed - because until dawn we can do anything and be anyone!

With a look into the past and a look into the future, we experiment with the different ideas, perspectives and growing up of big and small.

There is a knock on the window. The raindrops are here! They have a long journey behind them - once around the world. Out of the cloud, through rivers and lakes or even into the bathtub. We playfully explore the exciting journey of a raindrop. We swim, dive, dance and laugh. We are the raindrops doing and experiencing all these things. A fun afternoon for "water rats" and all who want to be.

A king, a dove and a girl with a ship accompany us on a journey through the work of Pablo Picasso. Displaced noses, twisted eyes and many geometric shapes arouse curiosity and lead us into Picasso's world of cubism! Afterwards we take apart and put together again!

The audience joins the five unloved creatures in a space of self-irony and self-love, where one cares for the other, where everyone is valuable and right and allowed to participate. The play celebrates the beauty of ugliness, of being an outsider, and of the creativity that lies dormant within us and allows us to experience connectedness with others.
