Offer for Kindergarten and School classes

The offer for students of different ages in cooperation with Schule und Kultur of the city of Zurich is diverse and takes place in the beautiful Zellweger Park but also in our exhibition spaces. The workshops in the park offer space for movement, the workshops in the exhibition rooms for rest. The workshops are adapted to each level so that there is a good balance between active doing, free working, implementing tasks and absorbing imparted knowledge. With this approach to art, learning is also implemented in the sense of curriculum 21 as an active, self-directed, reflective, situational and constructive process. For more information, contact: info@bechtlerstiftung.ch

Art Loop

The art loop is an art education offer for families/generations for an independent visit to Zellweger Park. The stork, who has built a nest on the chimney of the old spinning mill, knows the park better than anyone else. He leads the visitors on a tour through the park, the art loop. Children and adults can solve tasks together and learn about architecture and art in the process. For children between the ages of 7 and 12 with accompanying adults. The art loop set can be picked up at the reception of the Bechtler Stiftung. Cost CHF 15 per group.

Accessibility

The entire exhibition area is accessible without barriers.
