Dedicated to ceramics and glass, the Musée Ariana is situated in a majestic 19th-century building within a 4-hectare park near the United Nations. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum regularly curates temporary exhibitions, frequently featuring the work of contemporary artists. Musee Ariana provides guided tours and organizes workshops for children.
Explore museum collections and discover how artists bring plants and flowers to life. Choose from leaves and other natural materials to press into soft clay and make your own prints. Feel textures, see bright shapes, and hear the gentle crunch of dried leaves. Shape your pieces, add colors, and watch simple marks become small stories. This creative workshop helps you notice nature’s details and use them to tell your own plant tales.
Kids ages 5–8.
Jump into a playful art session made for little hands and feet. Explore museum collections and see how artists use shapes and textures. Touch soft patterns, press painted palms and tiny toes, and watch colorful prints appear. Together, children create decorations that sparkle with pattern and movement. The workshop blends gentle discovery with making, encouraging curiosity, sensory play and early creativity.
Kids ages 2–4.
An exploration of glass as a mysterious material, the exhibition presents a range of glass objects, from delicate vessels and sculptural forms to immersive installations. It considers glass’s translucency, fragility and alchemical processes, highlighting technical processes, surface treatments and experimental approaches. The works evoke histories of craft and contemporary experimentation, questioning perception, light and materiality while revealing the interplay between function, ornament and conceptual inquiry.
In French.
Explore the hidden world of glass and playful materials in a hands-on workshop. Investigate colors, shine and textures as you look at artworks and imagine how shapes change. Then experiment with shrink-plastic to draw, cut and transform your own designs into small, surprising sculptures. Watch pieces curl and shrink, see bright colors deepen, and shape your creations with movement and color. Take your tiny treasures home to keep and share.
