Guided Tours

Have you always wanted to know what it actually means when we call something ‘abstract art’? Then let’s get to the bottom of this!

Our guided tours of the museum’s permanent collection and our temporary exhibitions offer a great opportunity to take a closer look at the works of art. We can embark on an adventure to discover Abstraction together and find new ways of looking at art.

Take a closer look at the architecture of the ‘sugar cube’ and find out what art has to do with the body by delving deeper into the collection’s individual rooms and our temporary exhibition.
