Under the programmatic title a touch of playfulness , it offers children and young people a varied art experience and enables all visitors to approach and interact with contemporary art in a playful way. a touch of playfulness shows films, installations, mixed-media works, paintings, photographs, video projections and sculptures by twenty-one artists from Germany and abroad. The works created between the late 1970s and early 2020s provide an insight into the collections of the Reinbeckhallen Foundation and its founder Sven Herrmann. Grouped thematically, the artworks encourage us to think about how we see the world around us and how we engage with it.
