Educational activities
Welcome classes
Developed with a civic-minded approach, our tours and workshops for school groups promote learning and openness. Cultural objects and stories inspire exciting discussions and serve to share knowledge as well as experiences.
Accompanied by our team of museum mediators, an exhibition tour or a complementary workshop will allow your school group to explore historical and current issues.
To enrich your school group’s experience, you can combine your exhibition tour with one or more themed workshops.
