Relaxing summer getaway at the Cultural Forum, featuring classic artworks from historical artists
**Artistic Summer Holidays at Kulturforum and Museum of Photography**
This August, the Kulturforum and Museum of Photography in Berlin are inviting visitors, particularly children and families, to embark on a creative journey during the summer holidays. The lineup of workshops offers a diverse range of artistic themes, from nature-inspired crafts to printmaking and collaborative collage.
On August 1st, the Painting Gallery at Kulturforum will host the event "Copy Monster," where participants can create their own scary creatures inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's demons. Reproduction techniques such as tracing with ink, plastic foil, carbon paper, and distorting copies will be used in this unique event.
Meanwhile, at the Applied Arts Museum, kids can design their own fantasy creatures inspired by mythical beasts on the same day. The Museum for Photography will welcome visitors on August 3rd to invent new types of fashion photos from sample templates.
Both museums are separate entities from the Painting Gallery. The events at the Applied Arts Museum and the Museum for Photography are priced at 15 euros for 2 persons and 20 euros for 3 persons, while the event at the Painting Gallery is not specified. Information on registration for the events can be found online at [smb/museum.events](http://smb/museum.events).
The Kulturforum, which includes the Picture Gallery and Art Library, also has more activities planned. From August 5th to 7th, children aged 6–9 can participate in "Holidays with Flora" at the Picture Gallery. This multi-day workshop explores the significance of flowers and grasses in paintings, learning about mythological nature figures, and creating drawings and collages of flower worlds.
From August 19th to 21st, the Art Library will host "Bombastic printing!", a multi-day workshop where children get inspired by original prints and create their own large-format print designs such as linocuts of fireworks. The exact pricing and booking details for this workshop are yet to be specified.
The Neue Nationalgalerie will also be hosting additional family workshops. On August 8th and 22nd, children and families can participate in "Think squared!", where they will explore shapes, colors, and figures in art, followed by creating a collective collage from the day's inspirations. The fee for this workshop is €15 per family (2 people) and €20 per family (3 or more), including admission.
On August 13th and 27th, participants can join "Colourful, more colourful, your experience," where they will bring memories and emotions to life using color over photos, inspired by Gerhard Richter. Participants should bring printed photos or use pre-printed templates provided. This workshop is also included with admission.
These engaging workshops offer a fun and educational experience for children and families this summer, with fees ranging from €15 for family workshops to €36 for children's multi-day workshops at the Kulturforum and Museum of Photography. Booking online is generally required for the Kulturforum programs, and meeting points are at the ticket offices or information desks of the respective venues.
Travelers seeking a unique blend of lifestyle, home-and-garden, and cultural experiences may want to explore the various workshops offered at the Kulturforum and Museum of Photography during their Berlin visit this August. Besides the "Copy Monster" event that invites participants to create their own scary creatures, families can design fantasy creatures inspired by mythical beasts at the Applied Arts Museum, invent new fashion photos at the Museum for Photography, and even learn bombastic printing techniques at the Art Library. These creative endeavors are perfect for jazzing up one's home-and-garden decor and travel photography, making for an unforgettable cultural travel adventure.
