School groups and students

Getting acquainted with the history of the museum and key works, accompanied by a museum specialist, will help you deepen your knowledge of art and gain an unforgettable experience.

Thematic highlights, format and duration of the guided tour are determined by the group's interests and requests.

We recommend you to start an acquaintance with the Khanenko Museum with this special tour.

Interactive discussion through the halls of the unique House of Khanenko with an overview of the most significant works of the collection. We examine the museum organisation, who works here and how to take care of the most valuable exhibits. Children hear the museum rules, which not only visitors but also museum staff adhere to.

Please note: If group size exceeds maximum capacity, it is divided into smaller groups for which excursions are being held simultaneously.

Introductory walk-talk with games and elements of the bibabo puppet theater, after which your kids would be ready for a true Asia journey.

The Tibetan monk Gele and his friends tell about the customs of different Asian countries and show the exquisite and intricate things. Children will find out new information about Buddha, discover what is real Japanese samurai fought, how many modern things came from China and the magic of Iranian ornaments.

The excursion is a good idea as a museum lesson, both as an illustration of the material passed and for an individual acquaintance with Antiquity.

We hear about Poseidon, Hercules, Orpheus, and many others, making sure that their stories are not out of date.

The tour is recommended as a supplement to the school’s history and economics program. Paintings and engravings of the Khanenko Museum collection enable us to learn about the unusual economic phenomenon of the Netherlands of the 17th century known as the Tulip Fever. Why exactly is 17th Century Tulip Fever compared to Bitcoins? Why were tulips more expensive than homes and how does art contributes to study of the economy? Answers to such questions can be found through Tulip Fever interactive tour.

For children with developmental and learning disabilities and those on the autism spectrum.

And other things.

During themed lessons, kids are involved not only in art subject but also in the cross-cultural knowledge and skills. They rediscover museum as a meeting point of marvelous objects, fascinating stories, vivid historical personalities and characters of themselves. Thus, children learn to distinguish what is important, to think independently, and to express their own impressions.

The topics of the classes may vary depending on the requests and suggestions of the participants.

With the help of best specimens of the museum collection and experienced museum specialists, children are creating their own art forms that are filled with contemporary life meaning. They explore original ideas of painters, sculptors and graphic artists of the past, dig into different types of materials, techniques, and art methods. Great part of each lesson is devoted to hands-on workshops. Participants try diverse art methods: mosaics, stained glass, painting on fabric, monotyping, lettering, painting with ink and other.

The program's aim is to interest teenagers in the arts by engaging them in thematic games, different in content and format. At each session participants will consider one of the important issues of art directly through examples of museum pieces. Children deal with creative and intellectual tasks thought the competition or collaboration in teams.

Communication and games inspire all the participants to think, describe, argue their own ideas and experiences while learning about the history of traditions and art styles.
