Schools

Free offer for schools

Schools and universities have access to free guided tours of all our exhibitions. For pupils and apprentices, we offer discursive tours, conversations on art, behind-the-scenes tours and workshops that use the current exhibition as a starting point for dialogue, learning and engagement. All tours and workshops for school classes are also available in Einfache Sprache (simple German language) upon request.

All educational formats are devised to support the study of art, complimenting classroom teaching. They can be tailored to different levels of knowledge and age groups and are designed for all school types.

Discursive Tour (60 minutes)

Discuss artistic strategies for addressing socially relevant topics and encourage critical thinking. Our educators support students by providing information about the artists and exhibitions, posing questions and moderating the discussions.

Conversations on Art (90 minutes)

Themes from one of our current exhibitions are discussed and explored through independent group work by students, followed by a discussion. The aim is to stimulate creative thinking and encourage students to draw connections between contemporary art and their own experience.

Behind-the-Scenes Tour (90 minutes)

How long does it take to organize an exhibition? What skills are needed at Kunsthalle Wien? And how much does it cost to make an exhibition? During this tour, we answer all the questions that usually go unasked. We visit Kunsthalle Wien’s workshops and take a short guided tour through one of the exhibitions while explaining how exhibitions are made and the work that goes into preparing them.

Workshop (120 minutes)

Drawing, weaving, shaping, or animating – we give students the opportunity to experiment with different artistic practices. The workshops are based on the current exhibitions, providing a rich space to gain hands-on experience of various artistic techniques. A € 2 material fee per person applies for these workshops.

Information Sessions for Teachers

We work closely with school teachers and trainee teachers to bring contemporary art into the curriculum via the exhibitions at Kunsthalle Wien. We provide regular information sessions for teachers to gain insights on our current and upcoming programmes. Through these we can introduce you to our work and educational programmes and guide you through the exhibitions. Sign up for the teacher’s newsletter.

Everyday Sparkle!

A workshop for pupils and young people accompanying the exhibition Lebt und arbeitet in Wien

Duration: 120 minutes
Fee: € 2 / student

What’s your daily life like? Between school, free time, social life and the little routines in between, there’s often more going on than meets the eye. Who takes on which tasks – at home, in your neighbourhood or in the town? And which of these might go unnoticed by you?

In the exhibition Lebt und arbeitet in Wien, we will explore artworks together that remind us of our everyday lives. Together, we will take a closer look: at work, at gender roles and at the often invisible routines of everyday life.

In the Atelier, you will use relief and embossing techniques to create three-dimensional, metallic-glossy paintings and objects that you can not only see but also touch and feel. You can bring your own themes, perspectives and impressions to the table and transform them into something uniquely your own.

Let your everyday life sparkle and create glittering works of art!
