monograph, the books from the "Happy Museum" collection can be read while
visiting a museum, an exhibition or simply at home.
The concept is entertaining and interactive so that children can learn while
having fun! You will find throughout the pages some games, observations,
thoughts, creations, drawings and art history notions. Thanks to these
activities, children will be able to assimilate technical and theoretical
notions like “still life”, “watercolors” and “impressionism”, which are
sometimes abstract and difficult to understand.
