Bauhaus_SpaceLab

The Bauhaus_SpaceLab has been promoting early childhood education and offering learning opportunities in museums since 2009. The goal is to offer this young audience group the chance to experience museums for the first time and introduce them to the ideas and works of the Bauhaus artists. Once a year, preschoolers and primary school children in after-school daycare are invited to participate in projects that explore space, architecture and basic principles of design.

The Bauhaus_SpaceLab is a joint project by the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung, the Pestalozzi-Fröbel-Haus and the association Jugend im Museum e. V. It is based on the institutions’ shared belief that artistic investigation, experimentation and action are key components for encouraging early childhood cultural education, diverse skills, self-efficacy and social participation.

Outlook for 2024

2024, the Bauhaus_SpaceLab explores the theme "SpaceShip Museum".
