Wild About Art - Fun Family Trail

In the Fables Room of our museum, the walls are carefully decorated with many beautiful and colourful animals from the fables of Jean de la Fontaine. 

But, oh no! Some of the animals have escaped again! They want to learn more about the works of art and creative artistic techniques in our museum collection! Can you help us find them?

One animal is hiding on each floor of the exhibition - they want you to take a closer look at the artwork they have chosen and try their artistic challenges.

During each of the five stops, the animals invite you to look at the art in a different way. 

In our museum, looking from different angles and perspectives is very important, because there are many sides to a story, and many sides to history! 

Ask yourself different questions about the art - what shape is it? What does it represent? Does it tell a story? Why is it in a museum?

At the end of the trail, come back to the Fables Room where you will find drawing materials to add to our collaborative artwork, and browse through the books of La Fontaine’s Fables from Bimbi Books, a multilingual children’s bookshop based in Ixelles. 

Are you ready to take the trail and find the animals?
