Tours for people with mental disabilities
This active tour has something for everybody and is completely tailored to meet the group’s needs. Depending on the requirements, this tour is linked to a specific approach. Although the works of art play a central role, they are approached with a particular theme in mind. Everyone experiences and undergoes a work of art in their own way. By means of challenging, active tasks, each person actively looks at the works of art both individually and as a group and so discovers the secrets of the works of art they encounter.
