A museum, birds, a single story…

Why not come and discover it with your family? What if the museum’s works began to speak to children? Who are these birds whispering secrets from room to room? What wisdom lies behind their voices, their doubts, their dreams? The Conference of the Birds, a masterpiece of Sufi poetry by Farid al-Din ‘Attar (Nishapur, present-day Iran, c. 1145-1190), takes families on a magical journey guided by a mischievous, magical hoopoe.
What if learning could be synonymous with poetry and wonder? An initiatory journey for children, to marvel, reflect, imagine…

This guided tour is conducted in English.
