As usual, the Louvre maintains its children's area, the Studio, open every day (according to museum opening hours) with games to discover some of the museum's key works of art. Table soccer, archery, memory games... All activities are free and autonomous. But that's not all: the museum also offers creative workshops for children aged 3 and over (accompanied by their parents), storytelling tours to discover the legendary stories behind art, and guided tours to explore the Louvre through children's eyes.

In short, the program is already shaping up to be a busy one, and the good news is that admission is free for under-18s!
