Children and young people love the Museo Omero, so much so that they are often the ones who bring their parents and relatives. This is because they feel welcome in a space where they are free to explore and approach works without feeling intimidated.
At the entrance to the Museum, you can always find free activities that children can do on their own, such as ‘Museum animals’, where they can explore our rooms and discover the most “animalistic” sculptures. The “Objects in hand” sheet is available for the Design collection.
For 2 euros you can buy a blindfold for an entirely tactile visit.
Paid activities with operators
We provide special guided activities for a minimum of 10 people.

In the workshop, participants will press, squeeze, pinch and ball the clay to make fun pictures to hang up in the house.

Duration: 2 hours.
Museum moles
A unique experience, where the whole family can enjoy discovering how much their hands can actually see; the participants will be invited to touch a contemporary art sculpture while blindfolded. Afterwards, the family will combine their ideas, sensations and emotions then work together to make a drawing of the sculpture.
For families with children aged 9 and over.
Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes.
