Summer Art Club: creative with the garden

^{Please note that the language of this workshop is Dutch}

Get creative with the museum garden!

In the Summer Art Club: creative with the garden, you’ll explore the beauty and meaning of plants, flowers, the garden, and the architecture of the Van Abbemuseum. Want to be inspired by nature and get creative? Join us as we step into the museum garden to take a closer look at the plants and flowers, while museum educator Jacqueline shares hidden stories about the museum and its garden.

From the bay window in the library, you’ll also get a unique outside view of what’s happening inside the museum. After that, it’s your turn to get hands-on with plant-based paint.

Perfect for curious kids, creative (grand)parents, and playful adults! This summer, the Van Abbemuseum invites you to a creative workshop where plants, the garden, and architecture take center stage. Together, we’ll uncover the hidden treasures of the garden and the unique shapes of the museum building. Let yourself be inspired by everything that grows, blooms, and is built!
