Discover Tintin at the Musée en Herbe
If you’re in Paris this summer, don’t miss the opportunity to explore the Musée en Herbe, a delightful museum designed specifically for children. The museum is currently hosting a captivating Tintin exhibition, which includes an interactive workshop and guided tours. For just 2€, visitors can rent audio guides available in French, English, Italian, and Spanish. With the aid of a fun game booklet, attendees can turn into reporters—just like Tintin—while embarking on a quest for the legendary red Rackham treasure!
What to expect during your visit
Your journey begins with each guest donning the iconic Tintin hat. You’ll discover the fascinating origins of Tintin and his creator, Hergé (his real name was Georges Remi, cleverly derived from his initials RG!). You’ll also meet beloved Tintin characters and encounter numerous art pieces inspired by the Tintin stories, borrowed from prestigious Parisian museums and galleries such as the Musée du quai Branly and the Musée du Louvre.
A perfect outing for families
This museum is highly recommended for children aged 3 and up. We had an enjoyable half-day exploring the Musée en Herbe and walked away with an even greater appreciation for Tintin!
