Panamarenko Junior

For families with children aged 6 and over: discover the Panamarenkohuis through stories, imagination and experiment. Together with a guide, you visit the place where Panamarenko lived and worked for more than thirty years: among animals, drawings, parts and ideas for machines that could fly, sail or float.

A monthly family tour in the Panamarenkohuis

Panamarenko dreamed of moving freely everywhere: on land, underwater, in the air and in space. In 1970, he bought a house in Biekorfstraat in Antwerpen. He lived there for more than thirty years, together with parrots, a toucan, a dog and his mother.

During Panamarenko Junior, you discover this extraordinary place with a guide. You visit the house where Panamarenko conceived and made floating cars, flying backpacks, pedal-powered helicopters, zeppelins to live in, submarines and flying saucers.

The tour starts from wonder and imagination. We tell and invent, calculate and draw, experiment and imagine. Perhaps you will come up with something that does not yet exist…

Reading tip

This family programme is based on Panamarenko Junior, a children’s book by writer Brigitte Minne about the young Panamarenko, published by Eenhoorn.

In the book, little Henri is fascinated by flight, beetles and birds. During the Second World War, he sees aeroplanes and submarines for the first time. Later, he gets up to mischief, works in the docks for a while and is admitted to art school.

The book is available in the M HKA bookshop.
