Why go with children?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because the subject speaks directly to them. We see children’s furniture<\/strong>, objects related to school<\/strong>, to the bedroom<\/strong>, or to everyday life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not a very interactive exhibition, but it can be visited very well with the family if you turn the visit into a little observation game: choose your favourite chair, spot the colours, compare objects from then and now, look for the most surprising shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also a good idea to go out when it’s raining<\/a><\/strong> or if you’re looking for a short cultural activity near the Atomium<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

An exhibition on childhood objects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Design Museum Brussels<\/a><\/strong> presents Designing Childhood. A History of Design for Kids <\/strong>, an exhibition dedicated to the objects that have accompanied childhood over time: chairs<\/strong>, desks<\/strong>, children’s rooms<\/strong>, school furniture<\/strong>, everyday objects<\/strong> and creations designed at child’s height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition shows how designers gradually imagined objects adapted to children, their size, their uses, their movements and their way of living at home or school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an original cultural outing to do with the family, especially with curious children, sensitive to shapes<\/strong>, colors<\/strong>, objects and slightly retro universes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
