A kind of a short-term educational
program is made up by the activities that take place
every weekend at the exhibition hall of the
Children's Museum. These activities help children to
approach the museum and acquire knowledge through
the use of objects. Each educational activity lasts
45 minutes and is repeated many times all through
the day.
For the school year of 2003-2004 different
educational activities have been scheduled. All of
them are thematically related with the tribute that
peaks with the "party" of each month's last Sunday.
Apart from discovering knowledge and entertainment,
the tributes aim at familiarizing children with the
museum and helping them approach museums in an
alternative way. |

18.00 Admission 8€ children 4 – 12, 7€ groups of
three or more (per child) Admission free to children

writing, please call the museum for specific
