Bildmuseet offers free school programs for all age groups, from preschoolers to adult students. In the school program, your class gets to meet exciting, interesting and current topics through contemporary art. The program 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".
Between January 30 and May 26, Bildmuseet is closed for renovation. From autumn 2023, starting on August 28, we offer school programs as usual. It is good to book now.

Offered from August 28 - October 27
Down North / Contemporary Art in the Arctic
The exhibition presents 21st-century art from an unprecedented cross-section of thirty artists living in Maine, the Canadian Maritimes, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark as Indigenous Nations throughout the region. Artists are modern-day explorers, investigating poignant themes and capitalizing on art’s emotional impact and narrative potential as a catalyst for change. Climate and environmental changes, and a difficult history of colonialization of Indigenous peoples, have generated new works of art that address a cascading series of social, economic, political, and ecological challenges throughout the region.
In the school program, we explore the themes and questions that the art raises. In the creative workshop, we work with monoprinting to create images that depict our history and the places we live in.
Between weeks 40-42, Art Teacher students from Umeå University lead the school program together with us.
