Thousands of works of art, hundreds of plant and animal species, and countless questions about the world – this is the starting point for a series of art and nature workshops at the National Museum in Kraków and the surrounding green spaces.
Exploring and experiencing the museum offers an opportunity to reflect on issues that matter to us and provides inspiration for a shared (and creative) search for answers to the questions that trouble us.
In 2025, the classes were recognised in the ‘Słoneczniki’ poll as being recommended by parents. In 2026, we are repeating the series, which proved so popular.
The workshops are designed for children aged 4–6, accompanied by their carers.
All workshops are divided into two parts:
Participation in the workshops is free of charge, but we ask that you book in advance.
* Please note: should the weather conditions be exceptionally adverse during the workshops (heavy downpour), both parts of the session will take place indoors. We also ask that you prepare clothing for yourselves and your children suitable for the weather forecast for the day, so that you can comfortably take part in the second part of the workshop, which takes place outdoors.

Institute of Nature Conservation, Polish Academy of Sciences – The Institute is a research institution conducting activities relating to nature conservation in the broadest sense, addressing issues such as the preservation of species diversity in the plant and animal worlds, ecology, the fundamentals of protecting rare and endangered species, the sustainable use of natural resources, and the maintenance of the continuity of natural processes, aquatic biology, geoconservation, and so-called conservation biology and the social dimension of nature conservation. The Institute’s staff carry out their research with passion and dedication, but are also actively involved in educational activities: they run workshops and organise or co-organise events promoting science and nature conservation among older people, children and people with disabilities (including the Festival of Science and Art in Kraków, the University Festival, Earth Days). Together with the National Museum in Kraków, the Institute has co-organised events such as the Garden Festival, Wianki, and a series of meetings on art and nature entitled “Delight in Beauty – Art Experts and Biologists on Works Inspired by Nature”, as well as last year’s edition of the “Butterflies and Stalks” workshops.
