School and other student groups can expect a very special programme from mre designed to enhance how you experience and learn about the works here. Our team is both artistically and educationally qualified and looking forward to accompanying your group round the museum. We use a number of innovative methods to help make your museum experience special. Approaching the works with a sense of play and creating safe spaces where discovery and discussion can happen are a special concern of ours.
Take the opportunity to let the contents of your art lessons come alive in front of the works of art.
Viewing art as a mirror of society can be a highly effective way of approaching and connecting with all manner of school subjects, topics and age groups.
Our tours and workshops are always guided by an educational approach which is sensitive to discrimination and aims to connect with the real lives of the children and young people taking part.
All of the tours and workshops we offer are openly available to all forms of educational groups.
A member of our art education team accompanies your group to help students get closer to the works of art in the permanent exhibition. Specific themes and lesson topics can be used as the focus for the tour. This can be a vivid, interactive and engaging way of moving through the world of colour and form. A trip to the Colour Lab can also be incorporated into your visit.
Abstract art has been an integral part of the curriculum at the IGS Alexej von Jawlensky through the partnership with the mre since 2020. In the so-called ‘projects’, the elective mandatory courses in grades 9 and 10, the students deal with abstract painting in theory and practice. At ‘mre in action’ in July 2022, the two courses experimented with colour and material in a spectacular live happening on Wiesbaden’s town square, modelled on the Japanese artist group Gutai.
