In a playful tour, they will encounter Swiss art and design, have to come to terms with their own taste and universally valid criteria, and learn how difficult it is to distinguish "good" from "bad". The children decide - their vote is worth real money! At the end of the week, the artists and designers receive the prize money. For children of school age and older. No registration required.
