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".

AI and the Paradox of Agency
Who holds the power when AI becomes part of our lives? The exhibition AI and the Paradox of Agency raises questions about who — or what — is in control in humanity’s entanglement with artificial intelligence. From interactive games and installations to sculptures and a drone‑read hand‑painted textile, the participating artists highlight the crucial role of art in scrutinising society’s adaptation to new technology and in shaping how we imagine a future with AI.
In this school programme, we explore the exhibition together and discuss the questions raised by the artworks. Using two- and three-dimensional collage techniques, we then create a collaborative book filled with ideas, knowledge and learning. What opportunities might AI offer? What ideas, visions, solutions to problems or inventions can we share with one another? Are there any forms of knowledge or skills that we would like to pass on to each other?
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.
