Secrets of the Louvre: an interactive tour for children and parents (2 hours)
How do you tell children about ancient gods, pharaohs and masterpieces of art so that they go from hall to hall holding their breath rather than counting the minutes?
About the tour
For the children — a quest through the worlds of Ancient Egypt, Greece and Mesopotamia.
For teenagers — legends, riddles, hidden signs and discoveries of their own.
For the parents — a classic tour of the Louvre without the strain.
From the first minutes we go into the history through play. The children get tasks: decoding, hunting for signs, riddles. Together with their guide they move from hall to hall, untangling myths and collecting the pieces of one large museum jigsaw.
At the centre of the route are the Louvre’s most famous masterpieces, presented so that even the youngest can follow and enjoy them.
What you will see
- The Mona Lisa — and we will work out that famous smile
- The Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace
- The artefacts of Egypt’s pharaohs and queens
- The secrets of Mesopotamia and the ancient civilisations
- Hidden details and symbols the grown-ups usually walk past
What you will learn
- Who Zeus was — and why he loved changing shape
- What the pharaohs built pyramids for
- Why the Mona Lisa’s smile is so hard to read
- What you can “read” in a statue if you look more closely
- How a museum is put together — and where its “treasures” are hidden
Who it suits
- Families with children from 6 years old — especially anyone who wants to introduce a child to museums gently and enjoyably
- Anyone who has been to the Louvre but wants to see it afresh
- Parents who want art to inspire their children rather than bury them in facts
- Anyone who wants two lively, active hours in a museum that feel like an adventure
