Family vernissage
On Saturday, 3 June 2023 at 2 p.m., the research and discovery afternoon "Alles wuchert" at the Zentrum Paul Klee will start with the opening of the interactive exhibition in the Creaviva. Guests young and old will explore the three-dimensional game and be introduced to the rules and activities by students. Delicacies will be available for the break.


Who will play along and design our four seasons? The new Interactive Exhibition is a room-filling game board on which visitors learn about Klee's fascinating view of nature and put creative ideas into practice.

As soon as the dice fall on the starting field, the journey of discovery begins on the winding paths through the game of the four seasons. Equipped with a collection passport, visitors move through the room; large dice determine the order of the activities, which appeal to all five senses. Following the diced symbols, small and young-at-heart guests make their way through the room as life-size play figures. Under the microscope, they explore unique structures and the filigree texture of natural materials in the "Spring" area. Which forms and phenomena in nature serve as a source of inspiration for art? At the drawing table, observations are translated into their own small works. In "Summer", participants dive into the underwater world together with a school of fish, and in "Autumn" they face a tactile sensory test. Winter" calls for artistic reduction. Meanwhile, the meadow in front of the Creaviva is gradually transformed into a colourful flower wind park. This action will be launched at the family vernissage and in the presence of the students, who will be available to answer questions, play along and join in the celebrations throughout the afternoon.
