Bildmuseet offers free programmes for all age groups, from preschoolers to adult students. In the school programme, your class gets to meet exciting, interesting and current topics through contemporary art. The programme is always based on one of our exhibitions and is led by an art educator. We adapt the visit to the group and want to open up to new experiences and perspectives through the art experience, creation and conversation.
Within the municipality of Umeå, it is also possible to book a free bus to the visit. Read more about how to do this under "Before your visit".

Swedish Picture Book of the Year / The Excursion
The Snowball Awars recognises picture books as an art form, and the prize is awarded during Littfest in Umeå. This year's winner, The Excursion by Anders Holmer, is a delicate and humorous story about two friends, one with a trunk and one with a tail. In the school programme, we are inspired by themes in the story and the unique characters of the winning book. Together, we populate our creative workshop with imaginative creatures or create inspired by the book's open ending. Groups that book a school programme will receive a copy of the winning book before their visit.
Bookable hours are Tuesday - Friday from 9:00 - 16.00. We adjust the content according to the students' age.
For booking requests, email us: konstped.bildmuseet@umu.se
For groups who find it difficult to get to Bildmuseet, we of course offer school visits in digital form.
