Trailer: Children’s audio guide to the Gemäldegalerie

Film

For the first time, Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie is offering an audio guide especially for children aged six to twelve. In short and entertaining audio plays about selected masterpieces, young listeners meet the inquisitive, painting-loving rat Rubi and the grumpy but endearing caretaker Stein.

The pair takes children on a journey of discovery into the mysterious worlds of paintings and their histories. Children are also encouraged to participate as Rudi poses tricky riddles requiring them to look and listen carefully. Those who solve the puzzles can look forward to a small surprise at the end of their visit.

The stories were written by Anna Bilger and Vanessa Loewel (studiodrei, Berlin). Actor and radio play narrator Eva Meckback provides Rubi’s voice, while caretaker Stein is spoken with a touch of Berlin snark by actor and director Milan Peschel.

The audio guide is available on-site and in the Gemäldegalerie app.
