What's your daughter's favorite artwork? What's your son's favorite color? And what do you think when you look at a huge blue painting?
The 'How well do you know your family tour' is a fun way for you and your family to discover the museum, and the art—and learn even more about each other. All in the company of a tour guide.
Note: registration for the family tour is required!
KIDS AUDIO TOUR
Calling all young art fans!
A clever bird lives in the museum… and so does a strange little creature who has no idea what it is. Join them on a fun quest through the galleries, full of quirky shapes, funny figures and hidden stories. The bird thinks it knows everything, but the creature is often confused – luckily, you’re here to help. Can you figure out who or what the little creature really is? One thing’s certain: with your help, it’s getting closer to the answer. You are welcome to pick up a map at the front desk in the museum and a free audio tour device.
Letter Lab
Everyday, free of charge, for the whole family
My father’s typewriter always fascinated me. I’d hit a button and the letter ‘a’ appears. But that ‘a’ might as well be a bird or another picture,’ says designer Karel Martens.
A letter is a code, a key to unlock information. How would your name look if conveyed in art rather than spelled out in letters? What design would you choose to communicate a message? Use the code wheel on the wall to uncover hidden meanings, or design your own space with letters, colors and patterns.
The Letter Lab draws on the work of Karel Martens, and was designed by Koehorst in 't Veld. Unbound, a retrospective of Karel Martens’ work over the past 50 years, is on at the Stedelijk Museum from July to October, 2025.
