Dreaming of the Mediterranean
Guided Tour and Workshop in Connection with the “Méditerranées” Exhibition
Through the “Méditerranées” exhibition, students discover how works of art, objects, and stories have shaped idealized images of the Mediterranean.
They continue in the workshop using the pop-up map technique. Drawing on the exhibition’s themes—architecture, nature, and objects—they create their own cards by designing two three-dimensional scenes. A period of observation and presentation allows them to share their creations and draw connections to the works on display.
