Introductions for teachers

At the beginning of each exhibition, there is an introduction specifically for teacher at all levels of education. The team of the art education not only provides information on the current exhibitions and the specific events offered as part of our art education programme but also great inspiration for the classroom. One of the aims of these introductions is to encourage teachers to guide their classes through the exhibition themselves and to integrate the themes of the art works on display with the topics discussed in class.
