Sensory visit inspired by object theater for 18 months - 3 years
In this sensory visit, inspired by object theater and specially adapted for toddlers, we meet a little sheep in search of its bell… With its thousand and one treasures, the “Populaire? Treasures from the collections” is an invitation to awaken their senses and their appetite for discovery. Because there’s no age limit for learning about (and marveling at) the world of museums!

An object, a story
Family storytelling tour for children aged 3 to 6
Have you ever visited “Populaire? Treasures from the collections”? The objects on display, from the simplest to the most spectacular, all have something to tell us… like the story told by the wise and slightly mad Nasreddine, whom everyone loved to listen to. In an imaginary country in the East, the palace peacock sets out to find the most beautiful gift for the little prince’s birthday… but what would be the ideal present among all the treasures in the...

Le Petit B
National Early Childhood Week
Immersive choreographic show
Breast-shaped cushions are placed on a stage. A duo of dancers gradually move them around, playing with them, passing them on and stacking them in a gentle, soothing choreography, before placing them among the children, who are invited to manipulate them in turn… This immersion is achieved through touch, but also through listening: the soundtrack is repetitive, hypnotic and progressively immersive.

The goose maze
La Semaine Nationale de la Petite Enfance
Dance show for ages 6 and up
The Goose Maze is a life-size game played by two dancers and their children, in which no one wins and no one loses! In this piece at the crossroads of dance and the visual arts, the theme of play explores the relationship between creation and transmission-art and life-but also the parent-child bond. How does the mother-dancer collaborate with her child-dancer so that together they become partners in play? How can I, as a mother, support my child, awaken his curiosity, maintain his confidence...
