School groups 

Our learning experiences are designed to engage and inspire students of all levels, acting as catalysts for conversation, creativity and change. 

With the support of our talented educators, your class can explore key themes of Hundertwasser’s creative practice and philosophies while learning tools to engage with art, architecture and nature. Students will also have the opportunity to express their creative individuality with hands on activities.
