Educational Art Programs for Schools Around Milan for 2021/2022

For the 2021/2022 school year, multiple museums and associations near Milan offer educational programs for schools, available both in-person and online. MUST Museum in Vimercate provides age-calibrated activities: for preschoolers, a playful approach with storytelling; for primary school, active participation to explore local history and art; for secondary school, enrichment through local heritage. An example is the 'Alla ricerca di Ettore' workshop for ages 4-9, where children collect objects left by a squirrel mascot to create a memory album. MA*GA Museum in Gallarate focuses on the exhibition 'Impressionisti. Le origini della modernità' (until January), with programs like 'Definire la propria identità in una nuova dimensione sociale' for middle school, using critical texts and artworks to explore identity, culminating in five posters. Art-U association, founded in 2012, offers tours in Bergamo, Milan, Monza, and Brianza provinces, adaptable to all school levels, e.g., 'Villa Reale è casa mia!' for early primary, a 90-minute visit and workshop at Villa Reale di Monza where children draw a family portrait. Associazione Mercurio, founded in 2014, runs 'I colori delle emozioni' workshop for primary school, using blind-drawing to help children process emotions, in collaboration with psychoanalyst Paola Somaini of the British Psychoanalytic Society.
