Welcome!
You are invited to the Berlin State Museums
Workshops for Refugees: Children and Families
Welcome to the Berlin State Museums! There’s plenty for you to discover in our diverse
range of museums! We are inviting you to our workshops to explore our various museums
and try out different forms of artistic expression. Assistants from our Education and
Communication department will accompany you on your expedition.
Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart (Museum for the Present) – Berlin
In love with painting
Painting is simply fantastic! It can be so diverse: one colour or multi-coloured, modest or wild,
serious or funny. Famous artists show us everything painting can do and the things we can
experience with it. We will try out various painting techniques and develop our own, individual
painting style. It’s really fun!
Altes Museum (Old Museum)
Mosaic
Ancient Romans decorated their villas with colourful mosaics, pictures made of small stones.
They are beautiful to look at and give us an insight into life as it was thousands of years ago.
See how a mosaic is constructed, how one picture can be formed with many stones, and
give it a go yourself.
Neues Museum (New Museum)
The most beautiful woman in Egypt
What does Egypt’s most beautiful woman look like? What sort of jewellery does she wear?
During a round tour of the New Museum, we will explore the roles that jewellery, fashion,
makeup and hairstyling played for the women and men in ancient Egypt. In the studio, we will
design our own jewellery in the style that the ancient Egyptians loved.
Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery)
Animal fun
The animals have escaped in the Old National Gallery! Come and help us track them down.
In the museum, we will discover dogs, goats, monkeys, lions and even a horse with wings!
With your own folding book, you can create a funny zoo on paper and take it home with you.

Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts)
Paper dresses
Fashion is change. In our fashion studio, we will experience the appeal of fashion on our own
bodies. We will design extraordinary creations and cut them out of paper, experimenting with
shapes and colours. Wearing our paper dresses, we will pose in front of a mirror and camera
and witness our own transformation up close.
Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection
Take a chance
Without a plan – mix colours, paint with string, put the bottom at the top, let the lines
meander and get ready to be surprised... we will be investigating the accidental techniques
used by surrealists and seeing what can emerge from dots and lines when your brain doesn’t
intervene.
Ethnological Museum
A journey into the world of musical instruments
Melodious, humming and squeaky: we learn musical instruments and their sounds from
different regions of the world in a playful way. You can also try individual instruments
yourself. We then organise a concert on the gamelan instruments.
