Kirchner's cat Boby is excited about kids! Together, they explore the museum building, crawl on the floor like detectives, dream while looking at the ceiling, draw views, and identify details with a smartphone.
Kids can get the little booklet for free at the ticket counter.
The Davos Holiday Pass is for local school children from Davos. During summer vacation, Pro Juventute’s varied courses provide children with the opportunity to try out a wide range of things. The Kirchner Museum Davos is part of this and offers creative workshops for children of all ages.
All schoolchildren in the Davos region who are in 1st to 9th grade in the spring are eligible.
Play, paint, do handicrafts, have fun, and have a great time together. Every year, young and old celebrate the big open-air Playground Fest at Kurpark. The Kirchner Museum is present with easels for painting. The Playground Fest at Kurpark is organized annually by the Davos Family Council.
