The art world can seem unreachable for kids! The Musée Cognacq-Jay has a mission to start the art development of our toddlers with a free and interactive exhibition for kids from 7 to 11 years old entitled “L’Enfance des Lumières” that you can discover until July 29, 2018.

For a long time now, the Musée Cognacq-Jay is interested in the perception of childhood and its evolution from the 18^th century to nowadays. This new exhibition enables it to go even further in the theme by offering a visit that is not only about childhood but also suited to the youngest ones and families so that they can see what a child’s life looked like in the 17^th century.

The exhibition evolves around 5 themes related to one another by a giant goose game carpet especially created for the occasion.

The visit takes us to the discovery of a child’s life in the 18^th century through varied themes that are as follow:

• Family
• Education
• Game
• Health

As a complement to the exhibition available for free, the museum has other family activities on some days.
