Family Holiday Season

Children and Families

This Christmas season, come to the Museum and take part in a treasure hunt including enigmas and drawing tasks for the whole family. The game invites visitors to explore our exhibition Arts of the Earth and the new presentation of the Museum Collection, enjoying the works of art and doing a series of creative activities in the galleries, at their own pace. Follow mysterious clues in a landscape… Spot a sea of grass… Identify dormant seeds… Find the clay… Trace particular smells… This activity brings three things together: creativity, sensory learning, and environmental awareness. Get your game at the Museum’s admission desk!

Film, music and live dance can all be enjoyed as part of this special session celebrating creativity as a language of cultural expression. Cinema invites us to imagine and perceive situations and stories created with images, while music and dance contribute the expressive power of the body and sound, transmitting a collective memory and shared emotions. Together, these expressive arts enrich people's experiences, stimulating artistic sensitivity and promoting the intellectual, social and physical development of children with their families.

Christmas Workshops: Winter Trees: Dormant Life (Ages: 3–5)

Members

In this workshop, we will focus on the signs of winter in nature. The colors, shapes, and textures of the winter landscape will inspire our artistic creations.
We will learn that trees “sleep” in winter to protect themselves from cold, save energy, and get ready for spring. We will visit the exhibition Arts of the Earth to find inspiration for our own winter trees, which we will make using materials from nature – twigs, leaves, seeds, etc. – and decorating them in a cold color palette. Our trees will bring nature and art together, and they will become symbols of our concern with and respect for the environment.
Monday, December 22 (Basque), Friday 26 (Spanish) and Monday 29 (Basque); Friday, January 2 (Spanish) and Saturday 3 (Basque)
Conducted by: Mónica Martínez, Maite Ruiz
Ages: 3–5
Limited spaces available

Christmas Workshops: Winter Soil: Art beneath Your Feet

We seldom take a look at the ground we are standing on, but there is a world brimming with life beneath our feet: roots, seeds, leaves… a hidden life. The artists that are part of our exhibition Arts of the Earth invite us to discover the beauty and complexity of the soil as an ecosystem and as a source of inspiration in art.
In this workshop, we will explore the shapes and textures of the winter soil, when cold and moisture protect the life hidden in subsurface layers. Then, we will make our own winter soil fragments using clay, earth, leaves, seeds, and roots. Finally, we will bring all fragments together in a huge group mural – a symbol of the ground we share, the ground that connects us all. This workshop is a collaborative sensory experience in art and nature, raising our environmental awareness.
Monday, December 22 (Spanish), Friday 26 (Basque) and Monday 29 (Spanish); Friday, January 2 (Basque) and Saturday 3 (Spanish)
Conducted by: Aitziber Aguirre, Mónica Rodríguez-Curiel

Children’s Shows: Closka

In December, the Museum will be staging Closka, a show for kids by Panic Map aimed at raising awareness of the need to take care of the environment and be in contact with nature. Closka is a stage experience to help audiences think of the beauty and the responsibility of living in our little corner of the universe. In a fascinating journey, it reveals the story of Closka, a turtle with a dangerous mission: finding the way back home.
Directed and produced by Juan Pablo Mendiola, Closka was premiered in 2023. Since then, it has received numerous awards. Panic Map takes a multidisciplinary approach, going beyond the traditional boundaries between the arts to fire the imagination and stimulate curiosity.
Performers: Laura Valero, Joan Ballester
