Make your own mobile

11 am — 5 pm, Entrance Hall (NL/EN)
Walk-in workshop, no registration required – join in if there’s room

Remember one of these hanging over your crib? A gently moving mobile you could stare at forever. Take a seat at the big table under Alexander Calder’s famous mobile and make your own design. Choose the elements you like, and cut, color, mix and match! Then hang them from the ends and let them catch the light.

Sculpture sketching

11 am  — 5 pm, starts every hour and half hour, takes 40 minutes (NL)
Register at the information desk in the Entrance Hall, starts in ABN AMRO Gallery

It's hard to pay attention in a busy museum, but drawing what you see is a great way to learn how to look closely. Join us for a drawing workshop where anything goes – except erasers.
