The Biopark is temporarily hosting Janus, a unique two-headed Greek tortoise, during the renovation of the Museum. Each head of this male tortoise has its own independent brain, which sometimes makes its movements challenging. In captivity, Janus receives attentive care, resulting in an impressive lifespan of 26 years.
Jump into a cozy creative space where tiny hands make colorful shapes and soft sounds fill the air. Inspired by museum artworks, children and their adults will explore textures, colors, and gentle movements through play, stories, and simple crafts. Little ones will experiment with finger paints, fabrics, and instruments, discovering how art can feel and sound. This immersive, multisensory moment encourages curiosity, sensory play, and bonding between child and grown-up.
In French. Kids ages 0–4.
Step close to a sculpture by Alexandre Joly and listen as storytellers Joëlle Flumet and Camille Lacroix bring “The Guardian” to life. Hear short tales that ask who watches whom and what it means to protect or possess. Children will touch ideas of weight and wind, imagine stone blocks and soaring color, and answer playful questions about lifeguards and borders. Then everyone builds a bright kite, feeling fabric and string and watching it dance in the breeze.
Kids ages 5 and up.
