All Saints' Day vacation 2024 at the Louvre: activities and tours for children

The world's most beautiful museum is home to many treasures: in its Italian and Dutch painting departments, in the Islamic arts, in the antique collections or in the drawings and prints cabinet... There are countless masterpieces to admire. But these paintings, sculptures and ancient objects don't always fascinate young visitors. That's why the Louvre offers special activities and tours for children.

To help youngsters discover the world of art, and get them to enjoy the museum without getting bored, the institution has prepared a whole program adapted to their age and interests. And with the All Saints' Day vacations just around the corner , the museum is redoubling its efforts to keep the little ones busy!
