The castle museum of Saumur...
Since 1912, the rich collections of the municipal museum have been exhibited at the Saumur castle, joined by the collections of the horse museum.
These collections are characterized by their great diversity, decorative arts, fine arts, ethnology, archaeology, natural sciences, with as strong points one of the most beautiful collections of earthenware in France, tapestries from the 15th century 18th century, many of which are classified as Historical Monuments, and, of course, since we are in Saumur, everything that concerns the horse, at any time and in any place.
But... what about the children mentioned in the title of the article?
We're getting there...
For children, a lively, playful and educational approach to the castle and museum.
This is where the unusual and very interesting side of the place is to be found.
As in many castles, visits and animations are organized. This is quite normal, even if the high level of the elements presented is out of the ordinary.
But for children...
For the children are organized many activities and animations intended to make them discover the places and the works through games and enigmas adapted to their different ages.
Imagine for example that children from 18 to 36 months old, yes, will continue the adventures of Doudou through the works of art in the museum in a 20-30 minute storytelling tour!
Others, from three to six years old, are invited to be as cunning as a fox, as proud as a peacock, and without ever giving the cat a tongue, to discover the works of art while having fun.
Just the titles of these animations alone make you want to... "on the tracks of the patrols", "the horseman challenge", "museum party in the castle", "the key of time", "the challenge of the fort", "the citadel of treason", and many others, and these are only adventures, enigmas to solve, hiding places to discover, all of this, mine of nothing, to make people understand and remember, the history, the elements of the museum, etc....
The castle of Saumur, the museum, the animations...
You will find the full description of this set of fun and educational activities on the castle's website, or in this article from the digital newspaper Saumur Kiosk.
