Spiders exhibition in the budding museum

Exposition Araignées, Lucioles, Papillons au musée en Herbe

Charming little creatures that populate our daily lives invade the Musée en Herbe. The children will be delighted. Success guaranteed!
This exhibition invites young and old alike to discover the magical, fascinating and little-known world of these funny little creatures (spiders, fireflies, butterflies) that populate our daily lives and that have inspired the creativity of many renowned artists!
Spiders by Louise Bourgeois, or Niki de Saint Phalle, Butterfly Woman by Salvador Dali, butterfly vanity by Philippe Pasqua…
This ‘artistic-scientific’ exhibition is designed under the watchful eye of specialists from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. Scientific explanations on the life of the little animals accompany the works of the artists presented. Entomological plates, made by the National Museum of Natural History, will allow you to discover the fascinating life of the butterfly!
Children turn into little explorers and equipped with an explorer’s notebook, they go in search of an extraordinary animal. Remember to bring your pencil!!
As always at the Musée en Herbe, the scenography is adapted to different audiences, from 3 to 103 years old.
The exploration course is very well done, and suitable for children, even toddlers.
Allow between 1/2 hour and 1 hour to visit the exhibition.
