A museum workshop that nurtures imagination

Under the guidance of the artist Ekkehard C. Engelmann, families will experience an age-appropriate drawing workshop where observation, creativity, and free creation are at the center. The offering is aimed at children, families, and casual visitors, making it ideal for quality time on weekends. The Jena Art Collection describes the format as an open museum workshop that takes place once a month on Saturdays.

Discover, draw, tell

The theme immediately entices participation: With paper and pens, it's off on a great adventure, past invented landscapes like the Snail Shell Mountains or the Snow Globe Forest. Such visual worlds promote imagination, language development, and fine motor skills – a strong mix for a child-friendly learning experience in the museum. The workshop is therefore perfect for families looking for creative offerings with educational value. ([kunstsammlung-jena.de](https://www.kunstsammlung-jena.de/de/1049970?template_id=6068))
