Story telling


Do & dare like an artist!
We’ve been playing ever since we were born. Alone or together. Outdoors or indoors, with objects, using our bodies, or with a computer, for example. Playing helps us discover how the world works. Being an artist is, in fact, one big game. 


In Born to Play, you’re encouraged to both look and get involved. The colourful play trail on the floor leads you past artworks and activities. Make rubbings of the relief on objects such as a number plate, feel the materials in the sensory boxes, step into someone else’s shoes by dressing up, play with light in the shadow theatre, help build an endless jigsaw puzzle or play a game. We have specially developed this exhibition with and for children aged 6 to 12.



Four themes

We invite you not only to look but also to play! Anyone walking into the exhibition will see a colourful play trail on the floor. The trail guides you through four themes:

  • breaking rules
  • free play
  • dress up 
  • pixel fun

De reis eindigt bij een lachspiegel, met de vraag: Hoe vervormt druk jouw leven? Stemmen aan beide kanten fluisteren prikkelende vragen, die je uitdagen om verder na te denken. Op de weg terug wordt de ruimte langzaam breder, waardoor je letterlijk en figuurlijk meer ademruimte krijgt om je eigen patronen te herkennen en te doorbreken.
