Bright ideas for education in all disciplines, from science to contemporary art.
Multitudes
What is the crowding effect, denser or more dispersed? How is a movement of opinion born? Rumor? This exciting “fulloscopy” fits in just a few rooms.

Nicholas de Stael
In a retrospective of 200 paintings, between figuration and abstraction, we find the incredible talent of the artist, the desire to reinvent himself, to “break everything when the machine seems to be running too smoothly”. Kids will love his soccer players Princes Park, scenes of Parisian life, memories of Sicily… Not forgetting the film about his existence, then adopted as an exiled Russian child until his tragic end. Please note, on December 2nd and 3rd, free family workshops “Flower Bouquet in the style of Nicolas de Stael”.
