The exhibition is dense
It allows us to encompass all of Kokoschka’s work, from his period best known to the general public (around the 1930s) to his late works (mid-1970s)
He is an unclassifiable painter to discover, but it is more of an exhibition for teenagers

The “Family Corner”: visits-workshops

Please note: It is advisable to book well in advance (often very quickly sold out)

Baby visit (0-8 months):
- Dates: Wednesday 12 October, 11 January – 3pm
- A gentle visit and a welcome adapted for babies and their parents to be able to contemplate the works of Oskar Kokoschka. As you walk through the exhibition, yoga and Wutao exercises invite you to relax and unwind. At the end of the visit, sitting on carpets, parents participate in the creation of a souvenir object that they can then take away.

From 1 to 3 years old :
- Dates: Wednesday 12 October, 11 January – 10:30 am
- The discovery of the characters painted by Kokoschka will encourage toddlers to express their emotions easily. In the studio, the clay modelling of an expressive face extends this encounter.

- Dates: Sunday 16 October, 27 November, 22 January – 2 pm, 3.30 pm
- A journey to meet the many faces represented by the artist Oskar Kokoschka.

From 3 years old: “Diving into the city”
- Dates: Sunday 13 November, 11 December, 5 February – 2pm, 3.30pm
- Oskar Kokoschka paints portraits of cities that he embraces with his plunging gaze: London, Prague, Florence, Lyon, Monte-Carlo…
