Especially when working with younger children, it is important to offer emotional access and points of contact. Through interactive and entertaining formats, facts can be understood better and faster. Art and cultural history as well as the work in the museum can be experienced in a playful way and the children's creativity is stimulated. Thanks to a multi-sensory perception of the museum objects, our educational offers for elementary schools are particularly appealing and also open up diverse and individual access possibilities to art and cultural history objects for our young museum visitors.
The Clemens Sels Museum Neuss offers an innovative creative program for pupils on a variety of exciting topics.
A workshop lasts 90 minutes and has a maximum of 30 participants. The cost is 150 euros, including the cost of materials.
Bookings can be made by phone at 02131 904141 or at service@clemens-sels-museum-neuss.de.
Guided tour
Are you ready for a colorful adventure? Together with yellow Emma, blue Lukas and red Hanna, you will dive into the colorful world of Heinrich Hoerle's Rhenish Landscape. On a joint journey of discovery through the picture, you'll experience great stories and learn more about the many favorite colors of Emma, Lukas, and Hanna.
Practical part
Afterwards, you can stamp for all you're worth and try out exactly what happens when you mix different colors together. If time permits, you can then play color hunt! Who will be the first to stand on the right color carpet?
Useful hints
This program format is primarily about playfully recognizing and naming colors, as well as gaining initial experience with the creation of new colors during mixing. In a joint discussion, the motifs of the painting Rheinische Landschaft (Rhenish Landscape) by the painter Heinrich Hoerle are made accessible to the children. Based on the observation of the painting, a story develops around three figures that the children can insert into the scene of the painting as magnets. This sensitizes the children's perception of color.
Our suggestion: By laminating the pictures created in the practical part, a beautiful placemat can be made for the children in no time.
Subject: Art
Duration: 90 min.
Cost: 150,- €
Guide
What is that noise? Didn't a duck just quack there? You can not only look at the painting The Danube Boatmen by Erich Grams, but also listen to it. Use the sounds to discover people, animals and objects in the painting. You will quickly notice that they look very different in the picture than in real life... In addition, there are things that you can touch, feel, sniff, hear, or even taste that match the painting. Piece by piece and with all your senses you can discover the whole picture.
Practical part
Afterwards you will create a picture frame with finger paint.
Useful hints
This format is about the intense and accurate perception of the museum objects with as many senses as possible. The little ones can listen to painted pictures and thus discover the whole (painted) picture for themselves piece by piece.
Our suggestion: Make an exhibition in the school and use the frames designed in the museum to present the children's pictures - for example, their favorite animal.
Subject: Art
Duration: 90 min.
Costs: 150,- €

What would it be like to be a child in another century? What is a portrait? And why weren't children simply photographed in the past? Just slip into a costume and join us on a journey into the past to discover the world of children over 300 years ago.
Practical part
Afterwards you will make your own self-portrait, just like the old masters!
Useful
In this format, history comes alive and can be experienced: through different costumes, the children slip into a different role. In this way, looking at a child's portrait that is over 300 years old opens up completely new worlds for the children and a new space for their own imagination. At the same time, the children understand the time factor and realize that things change over time.
Subject: Art and science
Duration: 90 min.
Costs: 150,- €
Guided tour
