Curious toddlers, enthusiastic preschoolers, critical teenagers…
Children and their families are warmly welcomed at Abby. A special family program is designed just for them.

Abby Family

The most enjoyable way to explore the museum for families with children or groups. Dive into the museum with stimulating thinking and hands-on activities that make you see art in a whole new way.

Atelier  

Need a moment to process all the impressions from your visit? Feeling the urge to draw something yourself? Drop by the open Atelier and let your creativity flow freely.

Seating cushions and museum stools

Sometimes, there’s so much to discover that you don’t know where to look first! Feel free to take a break. Pick up free seating cushions at the reception. The museum halls also have benches and stools available.
