MaxXL: Painting fun like the old masters for creative kids in Bayreuth

Children's laughter meets art: MaxXL turns Bayreuth's museum into a creative workshop

Ready for a family experience with learning fun? In the MaxXL course at the Bayreuth Art Museum, children aged 9 to 13 paint like the old masters – guided by Verena Weinmann, M.A., art educator. In the bright museum workshop, colorful canvases come to life while curiosity, wonder, and quality time are at the forefront.

Be creative like the old masters

The young artists work at easels, try out age-appropriate techniques, and discover how light, color, and shape interact. Inspiration comes directly from the current exhibitions – thus each painting grows step by step, making art accessible to children.

Age-appropriate, safe, and manageable

The course is explicitly aimed at children aged 9–13 years. Small groups promote concentration, individual support, and a relaxed learning atmosphere. The workshop emphasizes clear rules, safe materials, and structured processes – for a thoroughly enjoyable learning experience.

Educational value that inspires

Under expert guidance, children strengthen fine motor skills, image competence, and creativity development. They explore picture composition, color mixing, and experience how real artworks emerge from ideas. This fosters a sense of efficacy and encourages trying new things.

Family-friendly location in the heart of the city

The art museum is centrally located in the Old Baroque Town Hall on Maximilianstraße. Barrier-free access, sanitary facilities, and a conveniently reachable location ensure a relaxed family outing. Public transport, short distances, and a protected indoor area make it easy to arrive with children.
