The Museum of Modern Art in Paris is one of the most important museums of modern and contemporary art in Europe. Located between the Champs-Elysées and the Eiffel tower, the museum, built for the 1937 Universal exhibition, is emblematic of the architecture of the 1930s.
Its collections, rich in more than 15,000 works, present the major artistic trends from 1900 to today, illustrated by major artists in the history of art: Picasso, Modigliani, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Suzanne Valadon, but also Christian Boltanski, Annette Messager, Peter Doig, Sturtevant, Nina Childress or Sheila Hicks…
It also has rare and exceptional works in situ, such as the first two versions of la Danse by Matisse and la Fée électricité by Raoul Dufy, a monumental work of 600 m2!
Throughout the year, the museum hosts international exhibitions by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Sonia Delaunay, Andy Warhol, Sarah Moon, Hans Hartung, Carol Rama, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Anni and Josef Albers, Anna-Eva Bergman, Nicolas de Staël…

Educational activities:

The workshops for toddlers aged 0-3 give children the chance to take sensory tours and then explore their first artistic gestures accompanied by their parents. This gentle tour is designed to suit parents' needs, and to help toddlers awaken their senses.
Family activities for children aged 3 and over: Families can use the games booklets, which can be downloaded from the website or obtained from the museum reception desk, to organise their visit and then carry out an activity with a visual artist. It's a great way for young and old alike to share some fun times together!
The guided tours for 4-6 year olds and workshop tours for 7-10 year olds are an opportunity for children to be accompanied by a member of the museum staff as they discover an artist or different artistic worlds. After the visit, a whole range of workshop activities is offered to develop each child's artistic potential, either by practising a visual activity (painting, drawing, collage, modelling or photomontage), or by approaching sound, music and multimedia tools.
11-14 years course | Les Incubateurs: during the school holidays, 11-14 year olds are invited to spend two or three successive afternoons exploring different plastic arts techniques based on a modern artistic movement. From creating a fanzine or a sound object to stop-motion filming or video editing, these workshops are a veritable breeding ground for ideas and knowledge-sharing between the teenagers, the photographer and the sound designer.

Restaurant:

Located in the heart of Paris' Museum of Modern Art, with its outdoor terrace facing the Eiffel Tower and the Seine, Forest - Brasserie Soleil, Chef Julien Sebbag's latest signature restaurant, welcomes Parisians, visitors from all over the world and modern art aficionados from Tuesday to Sunday. A timeless spot, both in winter with its warm and cosy interior, and in summer with its vast terrace offering one of the finest views of the Eiffel Tower, Forest is a Mediterranean-inspired brasserie, focusing on local and seasonal produce, homemade dishes, with a selection of refined cocktails and a festive atmosphere in the evening.
