Audio guide for young people
Launched in November 2021, the Musée d'Orsay offers an audio tour consisting of 52 points of interest covering all of the museum's collections. The works were selected around three themes: landscape, portrait, and animals. Children are invited to move freely through the rooms and activate the audio guide tracks as they wish.
The museum's mascot, Pompon, the erudite and slightly mocking polar bear, guides children as they discover the great works of the Musée d'Orsay.
These audio comments will allow children to guide their gaze, draw their attention to a pictorial technique, the composition or the subject of a work, and to learn more about the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in a light and fun tone.
