Transparence, the first exhibition of the new Palais des Enfants, at the Palais de la Découverte

It's a date we've all been waiting for: the Palais de la Découverte, which has been closed for renovation work for several years, will finally reopen its doors in 2025, with a brand new area dedicated to families, the Palais des enfants. An exhibition on the theme of Transparency is presented for the inauguration.

Good news for fans of science and experimentation: the Palais de la Découverte is reopening after several years of renovation, with a brand new cultural offering for young and old alike. For families, a new kid-friendly area has been specially designed for young visitors: it's the Palais des Enfants, and the venue is about to welcome its first exhibition, Transparence.

Take the whole family on a sensory and poetic discovery of transparency. Along the way, you'll pass through an ice palace, a mysterious forest, a treasure-filled cave, a sparkling ocean... On a journey combining interactive devices, contemporary artworks and models to manipulate, you'll discover the materials, lights and textures of transparency.

"Each universe explores one aspect of transparency," explains Floriane Perot, co-curator of the exhibition with Sophie Radix. The exhibition has been designed to introduce children to museum culture, but above all to help them discover the scientific as well as the artistic approach, and to create links between these two worlds. " We really want to emphasize the relationship between adults and children during the visit," says Sophie Radix, "and the exhibition has been designed so that adults and children can complement each other.

The result? An exhibition to touch, to manipulate, a visit where you can have fun, jump, dance like a jellyfish, marvel at a multicolored fishing net, play with shadows... All in all, a perfect exhibition for the youngest visitors, who will love being able to appropriate this space for creation and experimentation.
