A rainy day is a great time for an indoor activity like a museum! Unfortunately, on a Tuesday many of the museums in Paris are closed.
We did a little research and found a few museums that are open on Tuesdays that sounded interesting for the kids. We decided to try one near the Lourve called, Le Musée en Herbe.
During our visit in Jan 2024, there was an exhibition "Seth se la Joue" which features work from globally renowned French artist, Seth Globepainter (Julien Malland).
He has traveled to various countries and created many artworks using themes from the places he has traveled.
When you arrive at the museum, you can put your jackets down in the jacket area and buy your ticket. The staff will let you know when you can go in. It can get crowded, especially on a rainy day, so they stagger the number of visitors.
Before you go in, the staff gives you a little introduction, that was available in English as well, about the exhibit. The kids receive a booklet with some questions and activities to follow as they visit each room of the museum. There are several different versions of the booklets available, depending on the age of the child. English was also available.
This booklet was for kids under 6 yrs old. Kids work with their parents to answer the questions about the artwork.
The kids really enjoyed the interactive areas like Tic Tac Toe and the puzzles!
At the end of the visit, the kids can return their pens and get a little gift. There's also a small gift shop at the front of the museum where you can purchase some souvenirs of the exhibit and other art and drawing supplies.
It's a small museum with just a few different rooms but overall, we had a lovely visit with the kids! If you're in Paris or visiting the city and looking for a nice rainy day activity, go visit Le Musée en Herbe! The "Seth se la Joue" exhibit runs until May 2024.
Don't forget your snacks!
