Atelier des Lumières has dedicated a special area for children and creative minds: at the far end of the exhibition space, replacing the Studio, you'll now find the Children's Workshop. This unique spot offers an engaging creative activity designed for both young visitors and adults alike, allowing families to extend their experience beyond the main exhibit.
The Studio was a 160 m² room, featuring a bar for visitors to the Atelier. Located at the far end of the exhibition space, visitors could take time to sit and chat, while admiring an immersive digital creation. The Studio's programming often focused on contemporary art, and offered an unusual show.
The space is transformed into theAtelier des enfants, an immersive space where the walls come to life. There are living sets, inspired by the paintings presented in the large exhibition space. In the middle, tables with crayons and coloring pages. These drawings, also taken from the works on display next to them, can be colored in at visitors' leisure. The colorings are then scanned, and the works of artists great and small are displayed on the walls.
L'Atelier des enfants invites young visitors to take part in this artistic universe. Personalized colorings come to life on the walls of the Atelier, and wander around the room to the delight of their creators. Children can follow their drawings through the Atelier to an explanatory corner, which introduces the painter behind the exhibition, his world and his creations. It's a fun and educational way of introducing children to great artists and different artistic movements.
This new space is sound-enhanced and interactive: sounds linked to the décor are triggered when visitors touch an animal or a subject on the wall.
The jungle scenes and animals painted by Douanier Rousseau, the dinosaurs... The immersive displays at the Children’s Workshop are updated regularly to reflect current events and the programming at the Atelier des Lumières. This allows young artists to explore a variety of styles and worlds, fostering a love of art through playful discovery.
The Children's Workshop is included with the standard admission to the Atelier des Lumières—no extra charge. Be sure to explore this playful space during your next visit to the digital art center!
