An exhibition today, a workshop tomorrow, always a discovery.
The former museum building in Mercator Park has been given a new lease of life as MAP - Paviljoen. This museum pavilion hosts temporary exhibitions, inspiring talks and creative workshops.
When exhibitions are running, we follow Curiosum's opening hours.

Education
School visits to Paviljoen
At MAP - Paviljoen, pupils step into a creative meeting place where doing, thinking and discovering take centre stage. The bright, open pavilion provides the perfect setting for workshops that spark the imagination and let new talents flourish.
Classes can get hands-on with workshops such as Painter for a Day or Lino Printing, experimenting with colour, shape and technique. Whether you're visiting with nursery, primary or secondary pupils, MAP - Paviljoen gives every class the chance to experience art and creativity up close — and to create masterpieces of their own.
