Our picture book cinemaOnce Upon a Time... tells the story of Paul Klee, and together we'll turn what we’ve discovered into a unique work of art. In the Art Lab, we’ll paint and experiment with light. In the Open Studio, you’re free to create with vibrant colors, kinetic sand, and an abundance of building blocks. blocks. A large selection of our exhibition posters awaits you for the design of your child's room. And to top it all off, our balloon artist will craft the balloon of your dreams—whether it's a dog, flower, parrot, lion, magic sword, or abstract masterpiece—for a joyful goodbye!
