LabThyssen seeks to spark interest in art and culture among those under the age of 35 and to strengthen their links to the museum, inviting them to create and design their own activities, to share their concerns and interests, and to directly schedule activities in line with their tastes and needs.

The programme has gradually built up a broad and hand-picked panel of visual artists, musicians and others from multidisciplinary fields who stand out due to their fresh take, their diversity, and their young age. In 2024, a total of 20 activities were scheduled for more than 600 participants, including self-scheduling sessions (Creative Workshops), visits outside of the Museum to discover contemporary artists and cultural spaces with different approaches (Today we are going to…), guided tours of the collection, given from a different and fresh perspective by the panel of experts (A Different Thyssen), as well as meetings with people who spark interest among young friends (Thyssen in the eyes of…), to name a few.
