Education

In the Beelden aan Zee museum, children can explore the gallery with a discovery tour, color the most fun coloring pages, and get creative with various materials. During school holidays, there are also inspiring workshops and masterclasses for young and old. The museum also offers various educational programs for primary and secondary school students. A customized program? That is, of course, always possible.

The Atelier

At the back of the Gipsotheek is The Atelier, a space where young and old can get creative and all the senses are stimulated. A collection of 1,000 plaster studies of sculptures offers a special insight into the creative thinking process of artists. It is a unique space with much to see, and where workshops are offered for various target groups. The Atelier has a permanent setup of three work tables, accommodating about 30 students or visitors.

Creative Assignments

In The Atelier, you can get acquainted with the materials used in making sculptures and work with them yourself, including plaster. In the material cabinets, you can find creative assignments and learn more about the working methods of artists like Henry Moore, Johan Tahon, or Tirzo Martha. On the drawing table, you can draw the sculptures or each other and learn to look closely at proportions and lines. With the mirror assignment, you experiment with symmetry and the mirror image. For the youngest museum visitors, there are fun coloring pages and storybooks.
