With the upcoming exhibition 1948–1958 Murano Glass and the Venice Biennale, the activities dedicated to families return every last Sunday of the month. While adults enjoy a guided tour of the exhibition, young visitors follow a specially designed path that concludes with a hands-on workshop led by an educator. A playful journey to discover the transparency and magic of glass.

The first event is scheduled on 26 April at 4 pm with Glass Polaroids, inviting children to create a paper polaroid with transparent layers inspired by the exhibition — a creative art memory to take home and treasure.

In May, there will be two special events: on 10 May at 4 pm, on the occasion of Kid Pass Day, a special Escape Room will transform LE STANZE DEL VETRO into a space filled with puzzles and clues. On 31 May at 4 pm, the program continues with Martian Landscape, a workshop that calls for a touch of magic, colorful markers, and lots of imagination.

Summer events

The program continues on 28 June at 4 pm with Ask Me How I’m Feeling, a workshop inspired by a question that only seems simple: “How are you?” Young visitors will create a special box filled with expressions and emotions.

On 26 July at 4 pm, it will be time for Who Sees What?. Among mirrors, reflections, and crossing gazes, participants will build a small room with an artwork and a character, exploring in a playful way the silent dialogue that begins when eyes meet.

Autumn events

After the summer break, the activities resume on 27 September at 4 pm with Balancing Acts on Display. Children will experiment with combinations and pairings, exploring harmony and balance until they create a unique and surprising vase of their own.

On 25 October at 4 pm comes Carnival Fun… No Matter the Month. The workshop space will turn into a small creative theatre filled with puppets, acrobats, and Harlequins, where imagination and fantasy take centre stage.

On 15 November at 4 pm, we will read We Have a Plan, a story made of images, anticipation, and small twists. From storytelling, a hands-on workshop will emerge, transforming the reading experience into a shared adventure in search of a very special little bird.

Finally, on 22 November at 4 pm, with Playing with Colours and Light, participants will create a personal folding book (leporello), observing how colours can meet, overlap, and transform — just as they do in glass.

The workshops are held in Italian and are available by reservation for children aged 5 and up.
