During these All Saints' Day holidays, families are enjoying the Louvre Museum together! Between the Studio's special programming and the interactive activities or creative workshops, we head out to explore the most must-see museum in Paris with childlike wonder.

The world's most beautiful museum is home to many treasures: in its Italian and Dutch painting departments, in the Islamic arts, in the antique collections or in the drawings and prints cabinet... There are countless masterpieces to admire. But these paintings, sculptures and ancient objects don't always fascinate young visitors. That's why the Louvre offers special activities and tours for children.

To help youngsters discover the world of art, and get them to enjoy the museum without getting bored, the institution has prepared a whole program adapted to their age and interests. And with the All Saints' Day vacations just around the corner , the museum is redoubling its efforts to keep the little ones busy!

Special family-friendly activities are planned from October 17 to November 1, 2026, for children aged 3 and up. Workshops, storytelling, guided tours: (re)discover the Louvre Museum at a child’s eye level!
