Children's Birthday and More

Celebrate your child’s birthday at Marta

Birthday children can celebrate their special day with games and fun and a large portion of art at Marta. There are various offers to choose from for the children’s birthday:

Surprise birthday
Together, the children discover the different works of art in the exhibitions: from paintings to sculptures to photographs and video. Afterwards, it’s all about creating your own in the Marta studio. There, inspired by the themes of the exhibition, the children can try out artistic techniques and materials.

Architecture birthday
The imaginative Marta building invites you to discover and marvel: crooked walls, hidden windows and high rooms. After an exploration tour, the experiences and impressions can be implemented in your own fantastic drawings, paintings and models.

Studio Anniversary
The Marta Studio is a creative space that invites you to explore artistic expression. Together with friends, you can try new things here—for example, in a printmaking, painting, or paper-making workshop.
