Every day and all day long, a special area for families is set up: in the Forum area, meet with the children in the Studio, to play assembly games, construction games, the giant memory of silhouettes, discover the sensory table, read quietly... The Studio has been designed in connection with the museum's sculpture collections and various activities are planned during the vacations, including the discovery of the material library!
