This All Saints' Day, the Louvre is the place to be with the whole family! Here's the program of activities from October 21 to November 4, 2023.
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 cabinet of drawings and prints... 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 young visitors discover the world of art and enjoy the museum without getting bored, the museum has prepared a program adapted to their age and interests. And with the All Saints' Day vacations just around the corner , the museum is stepping up its efforts!
Special family activities are planned from October 21 to November 4, 2023, for children aged 3 and over. Workshops, storytelling, guided tours: (re)discover the Louvre at children's eye level!
