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 - Where's my egg?
The Snowball Award is presented annually to the best Swedish picture book and aims to highlight the picture book as an art form. The prize is awarded during Littfest in Umeå, and in conjunction with this, Bildmuseet opens an exhibition featuring original artworks from the winning picture book. This year’s winner is Where's my egg? by Julia Groth, a wordless story with multiple layers, brimming with adventure and excitement. In the school programme, we draw inspiration from the book’s themes and create our own breathtaking adventures using oil pastels and scratch techniques. Groups that book a school programme will receive a complimentary copy of the winning book ahead of their visit.
Bookable hours are Tuesday - Friday from 9:00 - 16.00. We adjust the content according to the students' age. Groups of more than 20 participants are welcome to book two separate visits.
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.
