Paris is one of the cities in the world that presents the most temporary exhibitions, thanks in particular to the quality of its museums. These exhibitions are internationally renowned, which explains the public’s enthusiasm for them. It is therefore strongly recommended to book as soon as possible to avoid long queues with children. The exhibitions are generally in French and English, sometimes also in Spanish. Very often, around the exhibitions, workshops are offered to young people, for single children, family guided tours, family workshops, game booklets. Sometimes some exhibitions are designed especially for children. This is still the case with the exhibitions at the Musée en Herbe. This one is specifically aimed at children from 3 years old. The Petite Galerie of the Louvre Museum is another place designed especially for young people. These two establishments organise two to three different exhibitions per year for young audiences. Of course, the Cité des Sciences, the Natural History Museum and the Palais de la Découverte still offer exhibitions for young people.
