A Day with Warhol

To coincide with the closure of the exhibition Warhol. Mechanical Art, MPM will be offering a range of activities for all ages focussed on examining some of the formats the artist worked with during his prolific life. The options for the day include activities such as participative visits for adults and print-making or serial art workshops for all the family. Visitors will also be able to learn about some of Warhol’s techniques and try them out themselves in the educational area that has been set up for the duration of the exhibition.
The day will end with the screening of Yellow Submarine (1968), the last of the four films scheduled in Summer Cinema. Stars of Pop Night, dedicated to some of the best-known Pop-era films. This activity required prior reservation.
