Graphic Station

Children's Expedition Guide
If you want inspiration for talking about artworks, you can follow the Children’s Expedition Guide around the museum. It’s a small book (in Danish only) with conversation questions, drawing exercises and other easy tasks, that will make you look more closely at the artworks and give you a new perspective on art. The Children’s Expedition Guide can be picked up at the reception.
