Let’s Hit the Field!: Families Discover Art Through Movement and Play

Let’s Hit the Field: Art and Movement for the Whole Family

On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Freiburg will transform into a place for sporty discoveries and playful art education. The family tour Let’s Hit the Field! is aimed at families with children aged five and above, combining the exhibition Field of Play: Sport & Art with questions about movement, rules, obstacles, and teamwork.

Art Becomes a Shared Game

Ready, set, go: During the one-hour city and museum tour, families will explore selected works of art in the exhibition with curious eyes. Participants will question what makes a game, how rules are created, and what role fairness plays in sports and everyday life. Art is not only viewed but understood as a lively discovery experience.

Unusual Perspectives on Sports and Everyday Life

Why are there obstacles on a ping-pong table? Do balls have to be round? And how can a sneaker be balanced on one’s head? Such unusual prompts open the way to contemporary art and make cultural heritage accessible in a family-friendly manner. The tour invites looking closely, trying out, and questioning.

Family Time at the Museum of Contemporary Art

The event takes place at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Freiburg’s Marienstraße. The museum is part of the Municipal Museums Freiburg and is dedicated to modern and contemporary art. The family tour offers a child-friendly encounter with the exhibition, architecture, and cultural education in a relaxed atmosphere. Children can only participate when accompanied by an adult.
