Musée en Herbe
The Musée en Herbe is the only museum in Paris designed first and foremost for children: playful, interactive art exhibitions, discovery trails, workshops for little ones from age 3. Themes mix famous artists, tales and science, always at child level.
Located on Rue de l'Arbre-Sec, a stone's throw from the Louvre, it is an excellent way to introduce young children to museums without the constraints of large institutions. Accompanying adults often rediscover the works with just as much pleasure.
Tip: allow 1 hour. Book workshops in advance, especially at weekends. Combine with the nearby Tuileries Garden.
