Children’s workshop: Sunday Early Bird
Please note: Due to the restructuring and consolidation of our educational programme, no Sunday Early Bird workshops will be offered in 2023.
In the Sunday Early Bird workshop, children between the ages of five and twelve get to experience photography in a range of different ways: be it via the exhibitions at Fotomuseum Winterthur and Fotostiftung Schweiz or through the in-house photo lab. A constantly changing programme promises exciting stories and a great practical experience.
During this workshop, parents are offered a guided tour of one of the exhibitions at Fotomuseum Winterthur or Fotostiftung Schweiz. The workshop and the guided tour both take place in German.
