Rhino Palace
Our five Hidden rooms – designed by Christoph Niemann
There is plenty to discover in the museum’s new collection tour.
The artist and illustrator Christoph Niemann has developed five special rooms for children exclusively for the Kunstpalast called “Rhino Palast”, in which you can go on a discovery tour, test the limits of your perception and playfully conquer the museum for yourself.

Behind small doors with low handles, a very special museum world awaits young and old alike in the Kunstpalast collection: pens that take on a life of their own, a fountain pen that paints stairs or a tunnel of flowing points of light at the end of which something unexpected is hidden.
Christoph Niemann has designed various optical illusions in a fun, creative and surprising way for children of all ages and the adults accompanying them. Graphic elements, projections and light are used to create a play with perspectives, proportions and movement.
