An experience that sparks curiosity
Manifesta 16 Ruhr transforms special church locations in the Ruhr region into spaces for art, encounter, and shared discovery. This creates a cultural moment for families that feels lively, open, and child-friendly, rather than dry. Especially for children, it’s a good setting to ask questions, discover images, and immerse themselves in new impressions without pressure to perform.

Why this family program works well
The offering is designed as a mediation and workshop format and is accompanied by a mediator from the Manifesta team. Visitors can participate or leave at any time, making the visit particularly relaxing for families. The free participation and the open character make the program suitable for an uncomplicated family outing with learning fun and shared time.

Location with a special atmosphere
The Liebfrauen Cultural Church is located at König-Heinrich-Platz 3 in Duisburg. As a repurposed church and cultural venue, it stands for exhibitions, events, and cultural encounters in the city center. This creates a special backdrop for families wanting to experience art in an unusual and impressive setting.
