Follow the bubble! An exhibition designed for children
In the exhibition Transparency, discover a sensory and poetic journey specially imagined for 2-10 year-olds. Guided by a mischievous soap bubble, children and their guides explore the mysteries of light, shadow, glass, crystals and reflections... A unique experience, between art and science.
An exhibition designed for all children
Accessibility here rhymes with inclusivity: plans in relief, texts in Braille, audio tour in LSF, works to touch, scenography at children's height... Everything is designed for a joyful, intuitive and sensitive discovery, including for toddlers and visitors with disabilities.
I would like everyone to feel welcome and enjoy the discovery.
A bubble as a tour guide!
She floats, she laughs, she is amazed: the soap bubble is the narrator of the exhibition. A true travel companion, it invites children to observe, follow and listen to it. Thanks to an immersive scenography and interactive installations, young visitors become actors in their discovery: manipulations, shadow games, strolls through the ice palace, tactile explorations in the cave or a visual dive under the ocean.
The scenography creates immersion, between contemplation and interaction, and embodies transparency. This was an expectation on our part: we had to find a language that made transparency accessible to children.
Playing with transparency
Focus on the "Les pieds dans l'eau" scheme
In front of Agathe May's print "Portrait en pied", children are invited to have a strange experience: entering the image. The work depicts a familiar scene: feet seen through shallow water.
Thanks to an interactive device, children stand in front of a screen on which the image of the print is projected. A camera detects their presence, and as soon as they move, the feet of the work come to life! They can walk in the water, make the surface ripple and even raise or lower the level with a thumbwheel.
Then they discover a fascinating phenomenon: refraction. Water distorts vision, feet twist, lines break exactly as in real life, when you dip your toes in a stream.
Repairing your visit
To guide your children, several tour tools are available. These free resources are available online. Don't miss the educational packs, aimed at teachers and parents, with leads for extending the experience before or after the exhibition!
