From the Museu Carmen Thyssen Andorra, we are pleased to share with you the calendar of family activities for March.
Programme:
- Carnival at the Thyssen
Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 March
To celebrate Carnival, participants will have to create a disguise with recycled material, such as fabric, and hang it on the characters in the exhibition. The theme of this original workshop will be Paris and its emblematic elements.
- Window landscape for International Women’s Day
Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 March
We celebrate International Women’s Day with a workshop dedicated to the artist Frances Hodgkins, the first teacher who taught at the Colarossi Academy, one of the schools in the new exhibition. During this session we will project works by the painter and give us a model to create landscapes through the window, one of the artist’s favourite themes.
- Artistic Puzzle
Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 March
This weekend, it will be the turn of the Artistic Puzzle, an ingenious activity that aims to awaken interest in creation and art at all ages. The workshop will start with the construction of the puzzle based on the works of artists who were influenced by the Parisian avant-garde. Finally, participants will have to create a new painting using one of the pieces.

On Thursday 24 March we start the lecture series for this new exhibition, Made in Paris.
