Guided tour for kids - COMPLETED
For children aged 6 to 10.
Join us on a journey of discovery! The artist Maciej Markowicz creates very special images—not just photographs, but “time traps.” His camera is built into a car or boat and captures light and movement. We’ll take a look at the colorful landscapes and find out why rivers can appear orange and meadows pink. At the end, we’ll try it ourselves: standing completely still for eight seconds—do you think you can do it? Your parents are of course welcome to join.
