New: Visual meditations for children (in German)
As part of a cooperation, tonies® is providing the Kunsthalle with ten Tonieboxes. Using these, children aged eight and above can explore the collection independently whilst practising simple mindful exercises. The Kunsthalle has developed visual meditations based on selected works from the permanent exhibition – including works by James Turrell, Paula Modersohn-Becker and Rachel Ruysch – which provide an age-appropriate introduction to the art. From 5 September 2026, the audio boxes can be borrowed from the ticket desk for a deposit.
