With the end of the school year comes the longed-for summer holidays, but also the annual family headache of juggling things to fit the children's school break around the parents' jobs and other commitments. In addition to resorting to help from family, the other great tool to make the summer more bearable for children are the summer camps and schools, a phenomenon that is growing year on year in Malaga.
Gyms, schools and nature centres, inter alia, organise activities to entertain young people. Even museums schedule summer activities that are often free of charge, Picasso's Birthplace Museum and the Russian Museum Collection being two such examples - so popular that there are no more places available on either.
However, this is a SUR's What's On of the activities in Malaga's art galleries, museums and gardens that are aimed at children aged 5 to 12 years, running throughout July and August, and in some cases until September.
The Revello de Toro Museum has a summer school that takes place in two short rounds and parents still have a shot at booking onto the second cycle on the 8, 9 and 10 July. The timetable is from 11am to 2pm. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the life and work of the painter Félix Revello de Toro, as well as the sculptor Pedro de Mena, who was the owner of the 17th century house-cum-studio-workshop, now converted into an art gallery. The programme includes a tour through the exhibition space, hands-on sessions with clay and information about the figure of Picasso. The price of the activity is 18 euros, 15 euros those in large families (3+ children). Prior registration is required.
Dates:
- Group 2 (7 to 12 years old): 8 to 10 July
Opening hours: from 11am - 2pm
Price: 18 euros, 15 euros for large families
Booking: Pre-registration at museorevellodetoro@gmail.com or by calling 952062069.
The Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga has scheduled a summer workshop entitled Fun Portraits, which offers three workshops this month and there is still time to book onto three of them. The workshop activities are related to the exhibitions currently on display at the centre (mostly contemporary art, as expected).
The workshop activity is based on the exhibition 'Matías Sánchez. Glory is something else'. The workshop lasts three days, during which a selection of works from the artist's exhibition will be discussed and from which the genre of portraiture and caricature will be worked upon, as well as experimenting with other artistic techniques such as dripping, splashing and using different types of brushstrokes to create backgrounds, plus introducing notions related to abstraction in art.
Dates:
- From 9 to 11 July
- From 16 to 18 July
- From 23 to 25 July
Timetable: from 11am to 1pm
Ages: 5 to 12 years old
Booking: registration by email at pedagogico@cacmalaga.eu or by telephone on 952 208 512.

Dates:
- From 16 to 19 July
- From 23 to 26 July
- From 6 to 9 August
- From 13 to 16 August
Time: from 11am to 1.15pm

Booking: prior registration at actividades.mupam@evento.es, or by calling 659617832.
The Museo Carmen Thyssen is also reaching out to children this summer with the activity An Odd Course for Would-be Spies. Based on what they find striking about each attendee, the workshop consists of exposing each participant's own individual "oddities". Using humour, some role-play dynamics, games and personal artistic expression, the aim is to uncover the traits that are not their own and then to take that characteristic onto the stage, all improvised of course. Two more workshops are available until 19 July.
Dates:
- Group for 5 to 8 years old: 9 to 12 July
- Group for 7 to 12 years old: 16 to 19 July
Opening hours: from 10am to 2pm
Price: 36 euros, 28 euros for large families (3+ children)
Reservation: Pre-registration at www.carmenthyssenmalaga.org
