Interactive exhibits, workshops and educational spaces are just some of the proposals of the only museum entirely dedicated to children in Ticino: the Museo in erba, which aims to stimulate the youngest children to make them discover art by playing and feeling free to express their emotions and creativity.

Inaugurated in 2000 as a foreign antenna of the Musée en herbe in Paris, the museum - private and run by the nonprofit association of the same name - has opened up to new collaborations with Swiss and European institutions that create exhibitions for very young children, such as the Espace des inventions in Lausanne and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. It also designs its own educational paths.

The museum is divided into:

  • exhibition space: the design of the exhibitions, which actively involves children, allows for an independent visit
  • atelier: creative activities for children from 2 to 11 years old, meetings with artists and activities for adults are organized here
  • aggregative space: many games and books to share a moment between parents and children after the visit to the museum

Opening days and hours

  • Mon-Fri 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM
  • Sat-Sun 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
