Partner to the French national education services, the museum offers a range of activities that is linked to school curricula. This is particularly the case for Art history, which requires pupils to “Find their way around a museum, art location or heritage site.” and the pupils’ Artistic and Cultural Education Studies (PEAC), which aim to promote equal access to art for all students through the acquisition of a personal artistic culture.
Projects are adapted to different audiences and designed by age, according to the child’s development and entry into the world.
Cycle 1 to 3
Conducted in an interactive and fun way in the museum and its surroundings, the visits are suitable for students from cycle 1 to cycle 3, followed or preceded by a workshop time. It constitutes a form of eye education which involves observation and doing. These workshop visits are structured around a theme taken from the exhibition and in relation to a few chosen works.
Middle school
We encourage independent work by groups of students on some works. Secondly, each group presents its remarks, analyses, and questions to the entire class. This approach leads to exchanges which make it possible to construct meaning and involve students directly in the process of analyzing the work.
High school
Visiting the exhibition becomes an opportunity to address aesthetic and philosophical questions about art and contemporary art in particular: the relationship to reality, the notions of beauty, know-how, the place of the artist and art in society, etc.
Art students
Alongside visits to the exhibitions, a new rich documentation and work space allows groups of students to carry out documentary research related to the exhibitions.
