By looking at art together, you will get to know your familiy even better. No worries if the baby cries or you burst out laughing together; that's more than welcome at the Stedelijk. A perfect day out with your aunt, grandfather, stepmother, bonus dad, half-sister or second cousin.

Workshop Kiefer's Space

DROP-IN WORKSHOP: KIEFER’S SPACE

April 29, May 1, 2 ,3 & 5 2025 
For the whole family from 7 years old

Is there a space where you feel most comfortable? Your bedroom, for example. But it can also be another place; the gym, the caravan or a circus tent. We explore this feeling of freedom and security. With the help of our museum teachers, you will get to work depicting that space yourself and you will contribute to a large work of art.

Just like Kiefer, we are going big this May holiday. Drop in and contribute to a large, collaborative work of art.

Lightlab

Everyday, free of charge, for the whole family

Capture the light with mirrors, dance with colored light, and use your hands, feet and entire body to make shadow art.
In the LightLab, the art is not in the composition of the physical objects on display, but rather in the use of light and shadows. The lab is designed to help you discover how light itself can be art, with the help of mirrors, lamps and your own body. Learn how to create shadows and reflections of various shapes and colors, enlarge and shrink them, and make them dance across the walls and ceiling.

So let's get cracking! This treasure hunt is free of charge and you can involve your whole family. However, we do ask you to book your free ticket, so we know you're coming.
