Popular baby
A sensory tour designed for toddlers ages 18 months to 3 years
Inspired by object theater and specially adapted for young children, this tour invites you to join a little sheep on a quest to find its bell… With its myriad treasures, the exhibition “Populaire? Treasures from the Collections” awakens the senses and sparks a desire for discovery. Because it’s never too late to explore—and marvel at—the world of museums! In collaboration with L’air de dire.
