Reimagining Exhibitions: “For Children” at Haus der Kunst
How does an exhibition change when children are understood as a serious audience and as active participants? A guided tour exploring participation, interaction and experimentation.
The group exhibition “For Children: Art Stories since 1968” at Haus der Kunst brings together more than twenty international artists who have created works specifically for young audiences since the late 1960s. Yet the exhibition is more than a presentation of art for children – it is an exploration of participation, imagination and the question of how an institution can become a space for experimentation. Visitors of all ages are invited to engage in dialogue with contemporary art and with one another, and to reconsider how childhood is understood today.
As part of Munich Creative Business Week 2026 with the motto ‘Playground of Possibilities’, this guided tour focuses on broader questions: How does an institution change when it takes children seriously as an audience? How are ideas of learning, play and responsibility culturally shaped? And what new possibilities emerge within an exhibition space?
At the end of the tour, participants are invited to activate the paintable work Mega Please Draw Freely by Ei Arakawa-Nash in the Mittelhalle and experience Haus der Kunst as a space for experimentation, participation and collective action.
The group size is limited to a maximum of 30 participants.
