Through movement, play, listening, experimentation with different materials and techniques, and exploration of the exhibition space, participants can discover how contemporary art and its languages can lead to new and unexpected worlds.
Creative workshops and Family Labs are held every weekend at 11.00 AM and 3.30 PM at Pirelli HangarBicocca, according to a set calendar. The creative paths for children and teens in the Pirelli HangarBicocca Kids program consist of experiential and hands-on activities and exhibition visits tailored to different age groups.

Edu Summer – Creative Summer Activities
Edu Summer is a project that takes place every summer in June and July, involving artists and professionals from various disciplines in the design and organization of:
- Summer camps for children aged 7 to 11 during the week
- Free workshops on the weekends for children, teens, and families
- Special free weekend activities open to everyone
Edu Summer takes place both indoors and outdoors at Pirelli HangarBicocca and is inspired each year by the exhibitions on display.
Summer Camps
In June, Pirelli HangarBicocca offers summer camps for children aged 7 to 11. The activities are designed by contemporary artists together with the Arts Tutors and are inspired by the current exhibitions.
Participants are guided through a journey of exploration, wonder, and new challenges using expressive activities, games, books, and outings, all approached with fun and imagination.
Winter is Coming! Creative workshops for children and teens
Winter is coming! is the project with which Pirelli HangarBicocca offers a weekend of free workshops for children, girls, boys and families and special free activities open to all in December. Winter is coming! is realized in collaboration with dancers, scientists, poets, musicians, illustrators... who, inspired by the current exhibitions, design, together with the Pirelli HangarBicocca Educational Department, workshops and creative experiences to discover the world of contemporary art and beyond.
This is where art comes into play. Have fun transforming the drawing into your own work of art.
We asked the artist Alice Ronchi to come up with an idea that would help introduce children to the world of contemporary art and she created six original drawings that could be transformed, completed, and coloured with all the freedom and creativity that children are capable of.
Once a week, for six weeks, we offer you a new subject inspired by the works that have been displayed over the years at Pirelli HangarBicocca: have fun turning them into something completely new and original!
Publish photos of your creation on Instagram using our hashtags #ArtToTheKids and #ArtToThePeople with the tag @pirelli_hangarbicocca: the most stunning and surprising drawings will be posted on the social profiles of Pirelli HangarBicocca.
