Bring the whole family to MUNCH! Here, children can play and express themselves in inspiring surroundings, while experiencing art on their own terms.

At MUNCH, we want to give children and young people insight into the almost endless possibilities and ways of thinking that art holds, and offer experiences they won’t find anywhere else. Through a range of regular activities, we invite children of all ages to enjoy art experiences and creative workshop activities.

Our Programmes

Sensory Play

Our youngest visitors can take part in an exploratory painting workshop using natural and edible ingredients. The experience begins with a short performative tour in one of the museum’s permanent Munch exhibitions. The programme is offered in two versions: one for babies aged 6–12 months and one for toddlers aged 1–2 years.

Children’s Art Day

Almost every Sunday we invite families to playful tours, creative workshops, or other exciting experiences. This spring we explore the theme Wonderful Stories, Shapes and Figures. Depending on the programme, the activities are best suited for children roughly aged 3–8. Check our calendar for the latest information.

Holiday Workshop for Children

During school holidays, children can join inspiring artist encounters and creative workshop activities. In 2026, this programme takes place during the winter and autumn holidays. The workshops are suitable for children aged 9–13, who are welcome to attend with or without their parents or guardians.

Nice to know when visiting with kids

Food & drink: The café in the lobby offers good food and a casual atmosphere. Here they have baby chairs for loan, and the possibility to find something everyone can enjoy eating.

Only baby food and necessary medecines can be brought into the museum. 

Help us take care of the art: As a general rule, it is not allowed to touch the art. If we show art you can touch, you will be clearly informed about it. Keep an arm's length away, and talk to the kids about why they can only see - not touch.

Photos: As a visitor you are more than welcome to take pictures. However, you may not use flash inside the exhibition halls. 

The Public Workshop: The museum’s public workshop is located on the third floor, accessible via stairs or lift next to the café in the lobby. The workshop is open during organised activities.

Lost property is delivered to, and can be picked up, at our reception, which is located to the left of the main entrance.
