Young Audiences

This summer, the Mucem offers a program as big as children’s imaginations!

Sensory tours for toddlers, creative workshops to introduce children to fashion, storytelling tours to escape to the Mediterranean or exploring the bonds between children and their mothers: all summer long, Mucem’s family program combines play, discovery and well-being for children aged 18 months to 11 years.

What if museums were the best way to spend the summer?
