The article highlights the "Art with Baby" tour at Kunstpalast Dusseldorf, designed for parents with babies. This unique tour allows new mothers to engage with art while enjoying a supportive environment. Initiated by Carola Werhahn, who introduced the concept from Cologne, the tour has gained popularity, emphasizing the need for inclusive cultural experiences. The current exhibition, "MAMA. From Maria to Merkel," explores themes of motherhood, making it particularly relevant to participants. The initiative has spread globally, reflecting a growing trend towards making cultural spaces welcoming for parents.
"Have you ever been on a tour like this one? No, it was always fully booked," replies one mother. The others immediately agree. There should be more tours like this, they say.
"I think it's great when, as a new mother, you can do something for your mind," says Werhahn. Tours like this exist not only in German cities, but all over the world.
The theme of today's exhibition, appropriately enough, is (non-)motherhood. A neon "MAMA" glows in orange capital letters on a pink background above the entrance.
The tour has been offered at the Kunstpalast Dusseldorf for 10 years now. It was initiated by art historian Carola Werhahn, who was already familiar with the concept from her hometown, Cologne.
