Programme
Throughout the week, you will work on your own artwork. Together with an artist, you will work on the artwork on location in your own district! The making days last from 10:00 to 15:00. Every day there is a free vegetarian lunch (dietary requirements can be taken into account).
On Monday (Weesp), Wednesday (Centrum, Zuid) or Friday (Zuidoost) you will go to the Amsterdam Museum on the Amstel to get inspiration for the artwork. You will gather in your own district, and at the end of the day you will also return to your own district. Please note: this day may end earlier than 15:00. It could be that the day you go to the museum still changes; of course we will let you know as soon as possible.
In Weesp and Centrum, programme partner Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam organises a part of the programme around the theme of language during one part of the day.
On Friday afternoon (in Zuidoost: Thursday afternoon) your parents/carers may drop by on location to admire the artwork!
About ELJA Kindermuseumlab
In the period 2023-2025, Amsterdam children (9-12 years old) will have the chance to help think about the city museum of the future. What will it look like? And what does the ultimate museum for and by children look like? By participating in the Amsterdam Museumkamp, collaborating on artworks, putting together exhibitions, and installing a children's sounding board group and children's director, Amsterdam children will help build their own children's museum.
They help open the eyes of the public and staff and make the museum the place for children. But above all, making and looking at art provides opportunities for the children to reflect on themselves, their environment and the world.
