educationConvinced that art and culture are an indispensible part of the development of young minds, the Museum has held workshops for children aged 3 to 13 ever since its establishment in 1999.
The workshops held during the exhibitions proves that children are at the centre - and are the first to enjoy - of the education courses tailored to encourage them to engage in art by involving them in activities that, guided by teachers, helps them to play a leading role.
The choice of workshops as a teaching method arises not only from the need to meet children’s real and immediate interest but also from the importance of stirring curiosity and new interest by taking care of three aspects: to know; to know how to do and to know how to interact. Activities In the workshops cater both for age and the ability to learn and are tailored to encourage, by means of stimulation and involvement, knowledge of specific aspects of the artists whose works are on show, their painting techniques and the historical and social context in which they worked. The language of art is confirmed as being universal, capable of speaking effectively and naturally to visitors of all ages.
