Muteum

The Girl with the Pearl Earring turns into a playful monster in the blink of an eye. The agonised face in The Scream bellows out a terrifying scream. Adam and God in The Creation of Adam finally touch hands. The imagination of a group of kindergarten students flies high in Äggie Pack Yee Lee's Muteum.

Even under the watchful eyes of their teacher, these young visitors do not forget to enjoy themselves in secret! This award-winning animation invites families and the young at heart to luxuriate in the act of 'viewing from all angles' and enjoy the process of learning with a light-hearted approach. A visit to the museum is not only a new adventure, but also an invitation for boundless creativity and imagination.
