Das Hamburger Kinderzimmer

The internationally acclaimed artist Olafur Eliasson has created something extremely special for the ground floor of the Gallery of Contemporary Art. He has conceived a place that delights the eyes, a space for adventure and play, where children and adults can experience art at close proximity. The space is furnished with a smart and convivial modular Zometools game that encourages everyone to design, assemble, construct and display their own sculptures. Works of art by Old and New Masters and a variety of play stations intended to stimulate all the senses encourage players to constantly invent new forms and structures. And if you think the object you’ve been building is finally finished and you’ve found – nearly – all the hidden play stations and artworks inside the nursery then you’ll be given a free trailmap that will take you on a path through the collection to discover other exciting games and adventures.
