Children’s activities

Free discovery trail for all ages

Young visitors can discover the museum using the ‘In search of Vincent’ discovery trailIt can be used by children from the youngest to the upper  years of primary education: anyone can go on a voyage of discovery. The booklet contains colouring sheets and spaces to make their own pictures. When they have finished, the young guests will receive a nice certificate. They can take their certificate and discovery trail booklet home with them, including their own masterpieces of course!

The ‘In search of Vincent’ discovery trail is free and available at the entrance in English, Dutch, French and German.

Children’s audio tour

The ‘In search of Vincent’ discovery trail is extra fun when combined with the special audio tour for children. Children can listen to conversations between Vincent and his brother Theo, and get to know more about the life of the world-famous painter in an easy to understand way.
