Times: 10-12.30 and 13.30-16
EASTER EGGS IN THE MUSEUM GARDEN
Families can hunt for Easter eggs in the Museum Garden. Pick up a map at the entrance and mark the locations of the hidden eggs as you find them. If you discover all the eggs, you can claim a small chocolate egg as a prize in the museum shop.
LAST CHANCE: A JOURNEY TO JAPAN
The critically acclaimed exhibition In Love & War offers an in-depth look at one of the Edo period’s most distinctive art forms, which served as visual propaganda, particularly in the depiction of dramatic, nationalist war scenes and the idealized portrayal of the lives of prostitutes. The exhibition closes on April 21.
LAST CHANCE: DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR THE FUTURE
April marks the final opportunity to experience the exhibitions Heartspace: Designing a healing hospital and AKUT #6: Fabric of Change. These two exhibitions explore how design and design thinking can make a real difference for children, young people, and pregnant women in hospital care, as well as being a catalyst for a more sustainable fashion industry.
EASTER FINDS IN THE SHOP
With mustard yellow ceramics and lemon-coloured accessories, it’s impossible not to feel in a good (Easter) mood. The museum shop is filled with sunny shades that invite you to bring life and colour into your home. A perfect selection for those who want to brighten up everyday life and create a lighter atmosphere in celebration of Easter.
EASTER IN THE CAFÉ
At the museum café Format, there’s something to suit every taste and appetite. The café offers both breakfast and lunch, alongside a wide range of freshly baked goods, including a new addition to the cake selection: A carrot-flavoured cake to celebrate the arrival of spring.
