From Empire style to Art Nouveau, from the sweeping lines of Victor Horta to the clean lines of Gustave Serrurier-Bovy — whether working with ceramics, wood, textiles, ivory, or a combination of materials, each designer left their own mark on European decorative arts of the 19th and 20th centuries. Objects were specially designed to make everyday life more beautiful. And now it’s your turn! Join the open ATELIER ouvert table, where a museum guide will challenge you to create your own beautiful designs. In October, we delve into the world of optics, because during the 19th century, people loved to experiment with early versions of photography and film. Make your own camera obscura with cardboard and a little patience, and see the world upside down! Or create a thaumatrope, literally a “wonder turny thingy”: a 19th-century toy for young and old alike. In December, we make things cosy. Choose, cut, and paste, and before you know it, you’ve created an original interior in paper. Here’s the bedroom, there’s the kitchen, and there’s Grandma embroidering in front of the fireplace. Maybe you’d like to try it too? Grab a needle and thread and have a go at cross-stitching!

Pour ces vacances d'automne, nous mettrons les voiles vers les Amériques. Comme les explorateurs de jadis, nous partirons à la rencontre des mystérieux Olmèques, des seigneurs mayas, puis, toujours plus au sud, nous traverserons la magnifique végétation de la jungle amazonienne. Peut-être y croiserons-nous une ancienne Cité d'Or ? Mais voilà la chaîne des Andes qui nous appelle : quels peuples pouvaient vivre si haut, au milieu des nuages et des troupeaux de lamas ? Tu as vu toutes ces couleurs ? Quel incroyable voyage ! Nous ramènerons avec nous de fabuleuses histoires de dieux jaguars, de héros jumeaux, champions du jeu de balle, et de fiers guerriers aux armures de plumes. Un magnifique journal de bord, rempli de notes, de dessins, de gravures et d'aquarelles, fera revivre encore et encore tous ces précieux souvenirs.

Have fun at the walk-in studio tables: - Make it move – create a “wonder wheel”, also known as a thaumatrope, or draw a flip book - Camera obscura – all you need is some cardboard, silver paper and tape to understand how a camera works - Magic lantern – come up with a mini story, draw it on a transparent sheet and project your artwork! - Photo editing avant la lettre – forget Photoshop and get to work with scissors, glue and paint to edit old photos - Smile for the camera! – make an accessory or an entire outfit and step in front of the green screen. Now it looks like you're standing in a Belle Époque interior! - Sound and light - the first films had no sound. We can do something about that! Watch, choose and let the instruments and objects sound to the rhythm of the images. Be enchanted by dazzling avant-garde dance on the big screen while a musician plays live music to accompany what you see! Need a break? The crèche café is the perfect place for little ones to play and read to their heart's content.
