Visiting a museum from your couch

Art and Containment
When Museums Tell Art History to Children

Why not visit a museum with your family from your sofa? It's possible thanks to the action of the museums which do not forget the children and propose videos to make them discover a work of art, or a part of their collection. When art and confinement go hand in hand!

Every Wednesday, the Louvre tells Belles Histoires. These are short animated videos of about 4 minutes. Aimed at children from the age of 6, they show the richness of the museum and its works. You learn a lot and it's really well done.
The subjects are varied:

  • the Regent's epic, about the world's largest diamond...
  • the expedition to Egypt on Bonaparte's campaigns
  • the flight of the Mona Lisa
  • The stone lady on a 2600 year old Cretan statue
  • etc...

"BAAM! ART IN SPINACH" - FOR EVERYONE FROM 9 YEARS OLD.

"Baam! de l'art dans les épinards", we love not only the title, but also everything in this program proposed by France TV. Playful and very intelligent, Baam! presents in 5 minutes a major painting of the history of art. It links it to its historical context and to an artistic movement. It is very lively and well documented. We advise adults to watch it as well, in order to shine at your next (post-confinement!) dinners.
The topics covered are very varied:

  • Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper
  • Manet and his painting "The Balcony"...
  • the Sistine Madonna by Rafaello Sanzio
  • the portraits of Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun
  • Grant Wood Pioneers
  • etc...
