REALLY Up close – program by the Up Close exhibition

The exhibition Up close is accompanied by a rich programme of events FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS in a special space / Artist’s Studio called REALLY Close Up, located in the lower rooms of the Moderna galerija.

If just seeing, hearing or feeling is not enough for you, if you want to try various materials and techniques for yourself, breathe in the scents of an artist’s studio, or just rest for a bit and admire what children have created, this is the place for you. There’s a lot going on here.
