A morning at a museum can begin with a question: “What do you see here?”. The Thyssen offers participatory visits and creative activities through which families can discover its collection. Choose the option that suits your children’s ages and leave time to talk afterwards. The plan does not need to cover everything: one work that sparks your curiosity and makes you want to return may be enough.
