Children’s exhibits at the Loire Maritime Museum

On their return to school, the pupils, during the course of four sessions, made some objects using various techniques: engraving, calligraphy, drawings, modelling… Their work, initiated by their teacher and guided by Luc Rousseau, a scenic installation artist, and Myriam Portal, an educational visual arts adviser, is on display in the museum, together with other objects from the collection: mermaids straight from bargees’ chests, anchors, portraits painted on sails, and maritime scenes. All these constitute a whole miniature world cheek by jowl with the world of grownups. 

This project was carried out thanks to a partnership with the Loire public institution, the Loire-Bretagne water agency, the local council, the Saint-Florent Le Jeune culture and leisure association, the French Ministry of Education and the Loire Maritime Museum at Châteauneuf-sur-Loire. 

On display in the museum: 10 March – End of May 2011
