The topics of the free, interactive exhibitions in the loft of the Creaviva are based on current exhibitions at the Zentrum Paul Klee and change several times a year. Paul Klee takes his guests, old and young, on a journey to a world where creativity has no boundaries.

Open studio

The studio opens its doors several times a day to let visitors try out different painting techniques, instructed by experienced art educators: the topics of the practical art education programme change monthly and are open to everyone from the age of 4 to 88 (children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult). Tickets for the open studio are available at the museum’s front desk.

Creating, painting, expressing: every day from Tuesday to Sunday (even during Bern’s school holidays), children and adults can create their own personal little work of art to take home. The “Fünfliber-Werkstatt” has everything you need: inspiring ideas, easy instructions and all the necessary equipment to get creative. The workshop is not supervised. Visitors deposit 5 francs per artwork in a piggy bank.

The Creaviva's offers are barrier-free - for young and old, with and without special needs or handicaps.
