Families and children

Palazzo Strozzi creates all its major exhibitions with families in mind. From captions specifically designed to stimulate cross-generation dialogue to interactive displays that get the whole family interested, paired audioguides for grownups and kids, and the popular family kit (this time an Artist’s Handbag) numerous opportunities are created within each exhibition for exploring together.
The icing on the cake is our kit for families, with games and texts specially designed to allow each family group to experience a “tailor-made” visit to the exhibition. Palazzo Strozzi also offers a rich calendar of educator-led programmes which provide fun opportunities for in-depth exploration of art through developmentally appropriate activities for kids ages 3 and up and their adult companions. Regular programmes include family workshops, storytelling and sketching in the galleries, and stroller tours for parents with kids under 3.
This approach has won Palazzo Strozzi the honour of being named the Children’s University’s first international “Learning Destination”. The Children’s University is a British organisation offering innovative extracurricular educational activities for children aged 7 to 14.
