When it comes to kids, its all about learning in a fun way
With always a fun-time for children, Louvre Abu Dhabi has come up with exciting new Summer Special Activities for young and cheerful minds.
Right from art-attack to a thoughtful movie show, children can reflect innovative ideas & experience a world beyond books. With encouraging online booking, Louvre ensures safety protocols & easier guidelines for smooth functioning of the event.
Here’s a list of few of the activities designed for the children
ArtLab
" target="_blank">Your kids dream of having your own art lab? Here’s one way to start with creating and expressing your thoughts with colors & all things artsy – print your ideas, speak your word, reimagine history, create 3D art, reinterpret our collection, experiment and have fun.
