A day of awareness exploring heart health through medical information and cultural reflection. Presented with healthcare partners, the programme invites visitors to learn about cardiovascular prevention, discuss risk factors and listen to their bodies through guided breathing and movement. Using an object from the permanent collection, the event examines the heart as a symbol of love, compassion and inner life, and offers talks and interactive moments to promote wellbeing and community exchange.

Walk through an autumn garden as leaves turn red and gold, guided by a horticulturist’s hands-on perspective. The walk follows winding paths and planted beds where soil, bark and late blooms create rich textures and scents, inviting close observation and seasonal reflection.

The experience blends sensory detail with expert insight and is conducted in French.
Explore a playful, sensory installation where art, free play and discovery meet. Inspired by cabinets of curiosities and Fluxus, the space invites very young children to transform everyday objects into props for imaginative play. Children manipulate, invent and improvise in an open scenography that promotes experimentation, creativity and an ecological sensibility. The environment encourages sensory discovery, dramatic play and independent exploration in a poetic, living setting.

Artists Amandine Casadamont and Madeleine Leclair present a live sonic creation built from vinyl records drawn from their respective collections.
