Children’s Saturday

Welcome to Children’s Saturday at Malva! 

On Saturday, Malva comes alive – come and explore the world of art and stories! During the day, you’ll get to meet a real Dream Inspector and discover all the exciting things hidden in the museum. 

Malva is a place to wonder, explore, and experience together. Here you can ask questions, have conversations, and let your feelings show – all emotions belong in the museum! 

Children with their adults are warmly welcome. The day’s program is free of charge, and visitors under 18 always enter the museum for free. Others can join with a museum admission ticket or a Museum Card. 

Getting around Malva with children is easy: 
– All spaces are accessible with strollers 
– There is a restroom on every floor 
– The museum has four baby care stations 

On Saturday, we are open from 10:00 to 18:00. The event day is part of the Children’s Winter Carnival program.
