If you missed the “Ô Cézanne” art exhibition at the Espace des Inventions in Lausanne last February, you’ll be happy to know that it will be coming soon to the Espace Nouveau Vallon in Chêne-Bougeries!
Suitable for children aged 5 to 11, the Exposition-jeu d’éveil culturel : Ô Cézanne is a fun way to introduce your little ones to one of the most iconic painters of the 19th century. If you’ve never taken them to an art museum, rest assured that this fantastic exhibition has been devised with a very young audience in mind.
From the 9th to the 25th of October 2015 your budding artists will be able to discover Cézanne’s world in a fun, interactive way, thanks to different “easel” stations where children can solve puzzles of his most famous paintings, walk amongst his easels and play with the apples that feature so prominently in his still lives.
After visiting the exhibition, children can take part in “La marotte au gilet rouge et son panier de pommes” art workshop.
We took our 3 children to see the same exhibition in Lausanne last year and we all had a great time. Although a tad recalcitrant at first, my boys soon got stuck in: they loved trying on Cézanne’s panama hat, walking stick and painting clothes, or reconstructing some of his most famous paintings using play cubes.
Little Miss Cutie, on the other hand, was captivated by the interactive station where fruit and pitchers had to be rearranged to match one of Cézanne’s still-life paintings!
