Cinema-Museum for the Whole Family / Song of the Sea, 2014 / Film + Activity Kit
Join us for a cinematic family experience on Saturdays — a film screening and a visit to the Museum's exhibitions, accompanied by a self-guided activity kit.
In each session, we’ll embark on a wonderful cinematic journey. The carefully selected films complement a visit to one of the museum’s exhibitions, offering young viewers new perspectives on the artwork.
At the end of the film, each participant will receive a kit for independent gallery exploration — through which they can discover how a still image can be transformed into a moving one.
Get ready for a truly artistic adventure!
