Aims and values

The Museum wants to give children, through exhibitions involving their participation
by way of play, the opportunity to learn how better to know themselves and others.
The originality of the Children's Museum lies, not in the method, 
learning by way of play, but in the content, knowledge of oneself and others.

The Museum has chosen this path because it believes that learning to know
oneself better is essential in the affective development of a child and may help him later to become a more "open" adult, welcoming to others and tolerant.

 

 
 

How does the Museum reach these aims?

The Museum organizes exhibitions in which the children play and participate under the guidance of facilitators, whose part is essential, since it is they who give life to the exhibition, create a climate of trust, let the children express themselves, listen to them in an attentive and welcoming way and allow them to express their feelings. The Museum has in this way dealt with various subjects such as "living together", "communication", "fear", "self-confidence", "our five senses" and "imagination".

The themes of the exhibitions change every four years. .
