Learn as you become an artist or an explorer! Whether they are guides to museums, catalogues for temporary exhibitions, or books on individual artists, 'Happy Museum!' books are great accessories for children, their families and teachers, on trips to a museum, an exhibition, at home or in school. The approach taken is playful and interactive, so that the child can learn while having fun! The books are peppered with games, comments, food for thought, opportunities for creativity and drawing, and concepts from art history. They help children to assimilate ideas which might seem complicated or abstract: techniques or theories such as 'still life', 'watercolour' or 'Impressionism'. Meet the famous painter Pierre Bonnard Paris is buzzing... It's the universal exhibition! Those children in the Tuileries Garden, what are they playing? Champagne! Create your own poster, like Bonnard! Who is the 'Japanese-style Nabi'? Think up a design for a screen. Bonnard settles in Le Cannet. Light, mimosas and the Mediterranean. Your turn to play with the colours of the South of France! A journey to the South of France, the land of colours!
