BELvue museum:Activities

Gorgeous dragonflies, wriggling plants and a fabulous dragon are just some of the elements you can recognise in Art Nouveau artworks and utensils. Are you aged between 8 and 12 and want to find out more about Art Nouveau in a creative workshop? Then come along on Wednesday 27 September 2023 or Wednesday 3 January 2024 to the KIDS Afternoon - Art Nouveau exhibition at the BELvue Museum!

During the entire KIDS afternoon, you will be accompanied by professional art historians and animators. These experts will immerse you in the world of art nouveau with a visit to the exhibition: ART NOUVEAU. Unique objects with a tale to tell. Through fun games, you will learn about different motifs and special stories about the objects. After you have gathered enough inspiration, it is time to get creative in the studio during the second part of the workshop. There you will design Art Nouveau motifs to print your own tote bagmotive using real engraving techniques. Draw an ornate flower wreath or cut and paste a duck with bear feet and dragon wings in a collage. Can you think of anything zanier? At the end of the workshop, you can show all those wonderful creations to the adult accompanying you.

It is quite exceptional that all these wonderful works of art and utensils can be seen together in one expo. During the KIDS afternoon, adults can discover artists' jewellery, furniture, book bindings...for themselves during this extraordinary expo. You are in good hands with the animators so your adult companions can take the opportunity to discover the permanent trail which is free of charge on Wednesdays from 2pm to 5pm. Both the games visit and the workshop are given in French and Dutch each time from 2pm to 4.30pm. The KIDS afternoon costs €8 per child. Is this something for you? Then hurry to buy your ticket as places are limited!
