Visit LUMA Arles as a family

A space for discovery, play, and creativity for children ages 0 to 12

From Saturday, February 14 to Sunday, March 1
Open Wednesday through Sunday: 10:00 a.m.–1:00 pm / 2:00 p.m.–5:30 p.m.

Free entry, subject to availability.

Located on the first floor of The Tower, le rendez-vous des enfants is an exploration space designed for children and their accompanying adults. Here, learning happens through play. Visitors can touch, observe, experiment, build, read, and create through sensory and hands-on activities inspired by the themes of LUMA Arles—art, architecture, nature, and more.

You’ll find:

• a sensory area to touch, observe, and explore
• a building corner for constructing towers and imaginary structures
• a light-based landscape to create and transform
• a selection of children’s books

Step into Etel Adnan’s world for a storytelling visit that sweeps kids and grown-ups into a bold, colorful adventure.

Guided by a story, children will journey from Lebanon to Arles—via Paris and California—exploring The Tower and encountering vivid artworks, including Adnan’s large ceramic mural.

Along the way, they’ll get a funny little object to personalize—an imaginative tool that changes how they look at the art, and maybe even how they look at the world.

This tour is offered in French only.

Duration: 1h00

Kids and adults alike will get to discover Maria Lassnig’s watercolors during a short guided visit of the exhibition.

Drawing inspiration from the dreamlike themes explored by the Austrian painter, they’ll then dive into watercolor themselves—learning how to play with color, water, and texture to bring their own landscapes to life.

The workshop will wrap up with a tasty afternoon snack featuring seasonal, locally sourced treats.

This workshop is offered in French only.
