It's all new and beautiful: the Bourdelle Museum has just reopened its doors on March 15, 2023, after nearly two years of work. What if we went to discover it with the children around a playful and creative workshop?

The most hidden museum-workshop in Paris has finally reopened its doors in the 15th arrondissement: on the program, new labels for the children's tour, digital and playful devices for the little ones, and a free weekend to let your little ones discover this human-sized museum.

The workshops are offered from 1 year old and children can participate according to their age (workshops 1-3 years or 6 years and older), accompanied by their parents. Come and learn the rules of theart of modeling and sculpting clay as a family: the workshops last from one to two hours and you leave with your child's work! Just remember to bring a shoebox or a cardboard box to carry your work.

At the moment, the exhibition Philippe Cognée. La peinture d'après. which is presented in the museum, from March 15 to July 16, 2023. The artist-painter explores the art of figuration, blurring the faces, creating patterns ... Less known, it is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, discovering the renovated Bourdelle museum and the work of this great French figurative painter.
