Statens Museum for Børn

In the newly built and much discussed addition to Statens Museum for Kunst (the State's Art Museum), one of the novelties is a section for children. This is located in a place with a view of the park, and contains exhibitions of paintings that are relevant for children. There is also a cinema and a workshop. This section is primarily meant for children between six and twelve, and all rooms and spaces have been created according to rules given by children. In other museums, children are normally taught about art through touching the works of art. In Statens Museum for Kunst, children learn how to "touch the works of art with their eyes", and their interest will be sharpened.
