The Palais des enfants
Experiment and wonder
What do scientists, artists and children all have in common? Curiosity! At the Palais des enfants, we spark, sharpen and nurture it through purpose-designed art-science exhibitions. Engaging children aged 2 to 10 with hands-on displays, artworks and interactive devices, we foster experimentation, wonder, play, dreaming, critical thinking, sensory awareness and creativity.
Explore and share
Each exhibition invites young explorers to freely roam immersive art-science environments at their own pace. This unique experience fosters fresh perspectives and encourages intergenerational sharing between adults and children.
Their thrilling journey of discovery starts here!
The Palais des enfants blends the expertise of Universcience (Palais de la Découverte and Cité des sciences et de l'industrie) in children's scientific museography displays with the GrandPalaisRmn's artistic and cultural know-how.
