The Studio: a creative, fun space for your family visit to the Louvre Museum

Did you know? The Louvre has a space designed especially for families and children. It’s the Studio, a place where you can create, experiment, and discover art in a different way, through children’s eyes.

Within the collections of the Louvre Museum, in the Richelieu Wing, lies the Studio. Designed for families, this space is an integral part of a visit to the world’s most-visited museum with children. Visitors come here to take a break, create and discover art. Like the museum itself, the space is open, and budding young artists are encouraged to explore independently (under the watchful eye of their parents).

So, each school year, the Studio team comes up with activities and resources linked to a temporary exhibition at the museum. From November 2026 to the end of August 2027, the focus is on the Louvre Photo exhibition, which is introduced to younger children through four fun stations where they can play and learn.

We start by looking at old photos from the museum through special binoculars, exploring the idea of perspective. Then it’s your turn to assemble and create new buildings using magnets specially designed for the purpose: although examples are provided on site, creativity is always welcome! In the third workshop, you’re invited to choose several viewpoints and use them to create a pyramid.

Finally, the fourth area invites you to discover the history of the Louvre Museum and help shape its development using a wooden model. This year’s exhibition design was created by STUDIO FORMULE.

Highlights at the Studio include two major programmes during the All Saints’ Day holidays and in February, each featuring a weekend devised in partnership with an artist. All activities are free and open to everyone with a museum admission ticket, and children must be supervised by a parent or accompanying adult. Guided or story-led tours for children aged 0 to 3, 3 to 5 or 6 to 10 (accompanied by an adult) are also offered at the Studio.

Admission to the Studio is included in the entrance ticket. In practice, expect to pay €22 per adult (EU national), €32 per adult (non-EU national), while under-18s enter free, as do 18- to 25-year-olds who are nationals of a European Union member state.

On the practical side, the Studio has its own facilities, including toilets for toddlers (like those found in preschools, for example), a changing table and a bottle warmer...
