What really defines play—competition or cooperation? And who says rules always have to be rigid?

Workshop im Hamburger Bahnhof
Participants question them, break them, reinvent them—and are constantly coming up with fresh ideas for cooperative play. How does it feel when everyone wins? Or when the rules are created as the game unfolds? You can experience all of this for yourself at the exhibition in the Historische Halle.
Also in July
What if your school were right next to your favorite playground? Or what if you lived right next to the Hamburger Bahnhof?!
Inspired by the work of artist Shilpa Gupta, you’ll create a personalized map featuring your favorite places. Use your imagination and discuss how your paths might take different turns.
Museum Xpeditions in July
Museum Trail
Join us on the Museum Trail and think about how you can navigate the exhibition. Discover the exhibition from new perspectives. July 5, 12, 19, and 26 (12:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m., and 3:30 p.m.)
The “Unbelievable Hands-On Tour”
Hands off! In a museum, you’re NOT allowed to touch ANYTHING—or are you? On the “Unbelievable Hands-On Tour,” you’ll discover which artworks you’re allowed to touch, why this is often the case with contemporary art, and what materials they’re made of. July 5, 12, 19, and 26 (1:00 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 4:00 p.m.)
The number of participants for the MuseumsXpeditions is limited. Registration takes place on-site at the information desk.
