At the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the winter vacations are going to be busy! On the program, the visit of current exhibitions and many creative workshops for the whole family, from February 18 to March 5, 2023.

No vacation planned outside Paris this winter? Don't worry, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs has prepared something to keep young and old busy with special tours and creative workshops to discover with your family! Based on the theme of its current exhibitions, the Little Prince, Thierry Mugler and Prisunic, the museum has come up with workshops for all ages, at the price of 12 euros per participant, which appeal to our imagination.

Two types ofworkshops are proposed, those for families where adults and children follow a visit in the museum, before going to the workshop to share a time of plastic creation, or workshops for 4-6 years, 7-10 years or 11-14 years, without parents.

Moreover, during the February vacations of 2023, many exhibitions are still on display at the Museum of Decorative Arts. We count Années 80 (until April 16, 2023) or, Elsa Schiaparelli (until January 22, 2023), where we highly recommend you to visit, even with the little ones!
