Tours & Workshops

Overview of our Offers

The LWL Museum of Art and Culture offers a variety of tours and workshops which bring people together - regardless of age and experience.

The museum's art education programme is based on the motto ‘Openness'. The requirements, experiences and interests of visitors build the foundation for all educational programmes. They are the key to cultural participation: The museum is a vibrant place where visitors are invited to discover the role of art in their own and in cultural life. Inclusion and accessibility are therefore fundamentally important. Access to art should be made possible for all people and the desire to take a closer look should be awakened in them.

Most of our Tours and Workshops are in German.
