Open doors for the mouse

In the company of ZKM colleagues, young Mouse fans are invited to take a journey of exploration through the ZKM on a discovery of the world of art.

Is a computer game a work of art? Can one explain art to a hare? What does a Gameboy have in common with a musical instrument? And how is a cartoon produced?

During the Door Opener Day at the ZKM, children can experience this and much more, they immerse themselves in virtual worlds and solve quite a few tricky tasks.

Per program point there is a maximum number of 10 children. Registration is required under fuehrungen@zkm.de or by telephone: +49 (0) 721/8100-1990.
