For families, children, a twinning with Germany

Light on activities

Once a year, a philosophy workshop is organized. First, a time for observation, the participants pick one piece that question them.

Then, all together think about time, its mastery and the museum collections

A workshop called, Le temps des artistes, is often hold. The children have a detail and they have to look for the object related to it. After that, they draw which allow them to think like a watchmaker looking for inspiration.

Torn paper is available to decorate boxes as clocks. Those activities are not only during summer but also all along school year. Going to the museum can be part of a green class. Children assist to activities on their own and waiting for them, parents go on visit or on a walk around. On Wednesday, children are invited to discover museum objects and temporary exhibitions. For those who are interested, Escape Game is one more possibility.
