Learn

Create, make, invent… at Palazzo Roverella and Palazzo Roncale young people learn while having fun: workshops and educational activities designed for schools and families.

 

LEARNING THROUGH PLAY

Palazzo Roverella confirms its role as a reference point for education and learning through experimentation, with an educational programme designed for the exhibition “Man Ray. The Master of Surrealism”, running from 13 November 2026 to 31 January 2027.

Painter, photographer, designer, filmmaker and maker of objects, Man Ray moved across techniques and languages without letting himself be confined by a definition. The educational activities bring children and young people closer to his creative universe, between photography, experimentation, Surrealism and play, and add moments of active participation to the visit.

The programme is open to schools of every level, with an interdisciplinary approach centred on visual experience, creative thinking and the exploration of photographic language. 

Guided tours and workshops will take children, young people and teachers on a journey through the works on display, encouraging an active, inclusive and participatory experience that stimulates curiosity and critical thinking at every age.

Educational workshops

Art as a sensory experience, fun and discovery.

The workshops take children and young people on a journey through the exhibition Man Ray. The Master of Surrealism with an active, engaging and creative approach. Starting from the works on display, participants are invited to observe details, atmospheres and characters, and then reinterpret them in their own way through play and by experimenting with different artistic techniques.

The activities are designed to stimulate curiosity, imagination and manual skills, turning the visit into a hands-on experience of discovery and expression. Each activity is tailored by age, with different paths that bring even the youngest closer to the language of art in an accessible and enjoyable way.
