Guided tours and workshops for school classes, kindergarten and after-school groups

Our suspenseful and diverse guided tours make every museum visit a very special experience. We can gladly tailor the theme of the guided tour to your curriculum.
At your request, we can supplement your guided tour with a workshop in the Städel ateliers. There the participants can put what they’ve seen on the tour into practice, making the learning experience all the more intense.
Guided tours for private groups and associations
Travel group, art circle, family gathering or club trip: there are many occasions for a visit to the museum. A private guided tour is the most pleasant way of getting to know the masterpieces of seven hundred years of art history and the special exhibitions.

Barrier-free art experience
Experience art without bounds. Whether for visitors with impaired vision or deaf persons – we will guide you with detailed spoken descriptions of the works or sign language interpreters, thus paving your way to art.
Guided tours for visitors with impaired vision or deaf persons (with sign language interpreter) can also be booked individually.
Art talks
English is your native tongue and you’d like to talk to others about art in that language? Or you’re a non-native speaker and would be interested in building on your knowledge of English outside your professional environment? With “Art Talks”, we offer a programme of guided tours providing a relaxed atmosphere in which the fine arts will inspire you to perfect your English. The prerequisite is good command of English; no special knowledge is required.
Audio Guide
Art at your own pace. With texts on more than 250 works, the audio guide offers countless impulses and information for a different museum visit every time. Depending on your interests, you can put together your own individual tour: from the masterworks to art and cultural history, from the children’s tour to the audio tour with a difference – depending on your mood and as suspenseful as a radio play.
The audio guide is available at the Städel Museum cashier’s desk. The complete audio guide is available in German and English. The masterworks tour is also offered in Spanish and French.
Take the digitorial before you come to our exhibitions ‒ as a well-informed visitor you’ll enjoy the show all the more! With the digitorial you can prepare for the show in advance with the aid of informative texts, entertaining audio tracks and lots of pictures ‒ at home, in a café, or on the way to the exhibition.
