A great family weekend to celebrate the 30th anniversary of La Grande Galerie de l'Évolution!
This year, the Paris Natural History Museum has chosen a very special weekend program (and more) for the whole family.
The program for these exceptional days includes a number of highlights for young and old alike, and even a night-time program on Saturday until 10pm: themed tours, workshops, readings and even artistic and theatrical performances!
The dodo will be the guest of honor. A mythical animal, the dodo is the symbol of threatened and extinct species, and will lead us through the permanent exhibition and the activities of these two superb days.
30 years is a long time! So many years of wonder and study in the service of life, knowledge and its protection. Activities are aimed at all ages from 3 upwards, and some will even be extended throughout the spring.
The Grande Galerie de l'Évolution at Garden of plants is one of our favorite places to visit in Paris with kids. We can even take advantage of this weekend of activities to go to the menagerieor the Children's gallery (dedicated to biodiversity) at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle
