PLAY is an open playing field with artworks that invite you to join in, to look at or to simply marvel and experience. So you get to throw balls at one work, you get to erase another work. There are works on which you can write and you can draw or stick something on a wall. There are switches with which you can turn something on, there are works that you are allowed to step on and there is an unusual The non-profit collective ArtPod, which operates in Berlin and New York, turns museum convention on its head with its exhibitions. They bring together contemporary works by international artists, all of whom interact with visitors directly and without inhibitions.
Regardless of age, everyone is invited to playfully conquer art for themselves. We recommend a visit with children from the age of 6.
