From May onward, the Skyspace by James Turrell will once again open for special twilight experiences. At sunset, the artwork unfolds its fascinating play of colours: natural and artificial light meet at dusk and transform the sky into what appears to be a flat composition of colour—a moment in which space and sky connect in a unique way.
“Skyspace” invites visitors not only to look at the sky, but to perceive it consciously. The architecture of the space frames the upward view and makes the sky appear as part of the artwork itself—both a boundary and an infinite opening.

What moods does a certain light evoke? How do colours change feelings?
In this three-day workshop, children aged 10–14 immerse themselves in the fascinating world of light, colours and shapes. They will discover exciting light installations in the museum and experiment with LED lights, coloured foils and projections. Using movement, their own bodies and creative ideas, they will explore how light can reveal, intensify or transform feelings.

A BELLY FLOP INTO ART HISTORY
Ever since humans have existed, they have been making art – sometimes dazzling and colourful, sometimes dark and menacing. Museums and galleries are a huge pool of effervescent creativity.
Stand-up comedian and art historian Jakob Schwerdtfeger inspires art novices and experts alike with his unique perspective. What does Impressionism have to do with dog jumpers? Why does Cubism look like someone punched a mirror? And how did the Renaissance become the nerd among art eras?

From 6 p.m., excerpts from the collection and our current temporary exhibition will be open to the public.

Light instead of paint, darkness instead of canvas: In the light graffiti workshop, you will discover a fascinating form of creative photography. After a visit to the museum, you can become active yourself and paint with light together with your group. Equipped with flashlights, LED lights, and other light sources, glowing images and lettering are created in the dark, which are captured with the help of a camera using long-exposure photography.
The workshop combines art, technology, and teamwork and is ideal for groups of friends, clubs, or colleagues who want to experience something special together. The photos created will then be provided to you digitally—a glowing reminder of a creative experience underground.

Duration: 3 hours, min. 3 – max. 20 people
