Whether you are organising a company outing or wish to visit our current exhibition with a school class or a private group, we will be happy to book a guided tour for you on the date of your choice. Discover different drawing techniques and explore the social and political background of the art on display. Choose from our list of tours and workshops, or join one of our public tours held every month.
For each exhibition, the Cartoonmuseum Basel designs activities for schools that are adapted for different age groups. Using carefully selected exhibits as examples, we discuss societal aspects of art with the children and explain different drawing techniques.
On request, the tour of the exhibition can be followed by a workshop, where an educator directs and guides the children as they produce their own creative piece of work.
