Visit & Learn

Guided Tours

To enjoy the exhibitions in Bozar to the full, you've come to the right place.

We've put together a fascinating tour that will sharpen your knowledge and make your visit an unforgettable experience. In the run-up to new exhibitions, the curators give specific training to our guides. Our guides will then help you interpret the art and encourage you to look at the works from an original point of view. In addition, the tour is also tailored to your specific needs. Our team of guides will respond to the particular expectations and will answer questions asked by the participants in the tour as best they can. You can put together your own group or join a tour as an individual visitor. Discover the numerous options below.
