Choose between an interactive guided tour of the exhibition rooms or a Guided Tour +, which combines a general exploration of the collections with a hands-on session in the Atelier, a space dedicated to musical practice.
Guided tour
1st-6th grade
This is the perfect tour to discover the museum on your first visit! You probably know the guitar and the piano—but have you ever played them? Have you ever heard of the theremin or the glass harmonica? Be ready to be surprised by instruments that are sometimes classical, sometimes unusual, and sometimes downright amusing. Look closely, listen carefully, try them out… soon, our instruments will hold no secrets for you!
Guided tour +
1st-6th grade
The world of musical instruments is so vast that it can sometimes be hard to find your way around. By learning how to classify instruments into broad families, you’ll gain a clearer perspective. In the museum’s galleries, you’ll explore string and wind instruments: the violin, of course, but also the spinet and the hurdy-gurdy. You’ll encounter the trumpet, naturally, but also the accordion and the dung chen. And as for the percussion instruments, you’ll get to know them hands-on by playing them with your entire class in the Atelier!
La valse des notes
To explore the scientific side of sound in more depth, it is also possible to combine a visit to the MIM with a scientific experimentation workshop organized by Cap Sciences. With a specialized facilitator coming to your classroom, you will try to answer the following questions (and many more): What is sound? How does it travel? How does our ear work?
This activity is only available in French.
