The program offers you the opportunity to combine culture and parenting in a flexible and stress-free way. Bring your baby along in a comfortable baby carrier or sling. The exhibition tours are designed to allow you to move around freely, and if your baby becomes restless, you can retreat to a calm corner for feeding or changing.
Please note - strollers are not permitted in the gallery exhibition spaces. However, you can leave them safely in the gallery lobby.

- Toddlers in the gallery / 1–3 years old / duration: 30–45 minutes
7 October, 4 November, 2 December 2025, 6 January, 3 February, 3 March, 7 April, 5 May 2026, 17:00
Our educator and the curious Angry Ant will warmly welcome toddlers and their parents (or other adult companions). Together, we’ll explore the world of visual art – in a playful and collaborative way! We’ll experiment with various art materials and techniques: discovering how they work, what kinds of traces they leave, how they feel to the touch, whether they have a smell or make a sound, and how they inspire us to move. The focus is on the creative process, sensory exploration, and, above all, feeling good and enjoying art.
Participation is free with the purchase of a regular admission ticket (4 €) for adults who stay with the children during the workshop.

- SATURDAY WORKSHOPS (4–7 in 8–12 years old)
13 Saturday and 17 August, 11 and 25 September, 8 and 22 November, 6 and 20 December 2025, 10 and 24 January, 7 February, 7 and 21 March, 11 and 25 April, 9 and 30 May 2026, 10:30-12:00
At UGM’s Saturday workshops, children aged 4–8 and 9–12 get to know modern and contemporary visual art in a playful and creative way. In the inspiring setting of the museum, we spend time in front of paintings, sculptures, and installations—observing them, talking about them, sharing opinions, and uncovering their meanings. In the second part of each session, we create art ourselves—drawing, painting, sculpting, and experimenting with various materials and techniques. The focus is on the creative process, giving children an experience that helps them understand art more deeply, while also developing valuable skills such as focused observation, visual thinking, creativity, and imagination. Each Saturday brings a new experience, inspiration, and joy in art. Workshops are held for two age groups: 4–7 and 8–12 years.
price: 4 €
