Visits and activities

LaM Vagabond - School & after-school

While it is closed for works, LaM continues to offer a rich and varied programme of events outside its walls. School groups, from nursery schools to higher education establishments, can take advantage of exhibitions, workshops and special educational programmes to enjoy unique cultural experiences in partner venues.

A comic strip for teachers
While the museum is closed, LaM will be keeping in touch with teachers. Every month, subscribers to the teachers' newsletter will receive news from the museum in the form of a fun comic strip based on the museum's permanent collection. Pupils will also be able to explore the museum with their classes.

Artistic and cultural activities help to develop pupils' critical faculties, express their emotions and stimulate their creativity. LaM offers a wide range of activities and visits for your classes, from nursery to primary, secondary and higher education: active visits, discovery visits and workshop visits.

To carry out its mission of artistic and cultural education, the museum has a team of artistic facilitators who support children and teenagers in their practice, both inside and outside the museum.

Every year, the museum works closely with school curricula to offer visits and workshops that are relevant to pupils' learning. For each exhibition, educational tools and professional training courses for teachers are offered to explore themes related to the museum's permanent collection or temporary exhibitions.

Our resources

The library
With a library of 56,000 books and magazines on twentieth- and twenty-first-century art, the museum's Dominique Bozo library is a veritable resource centre, enabling teachers to prepare or extend their visits and discover exhibition catalogues, precious artists' books (on request) and the art world press.

Tailor-made activities
For groups of children outside school hours, the museum offers a range of tailor-made activities. Working closely with professionals in the social services sector, the museum teams offer guided tours and artistic creation workshops, with genuine group projects designed to involve children and young people in the museum's collection. These events are part of the integration work carried out by the social services.

Tailor-made projects

Pep's project
In 2024, the museum wanted to get more involved with students by taking part in Peps, a scheme designed to encourage artistic practice in secondary schools and to encourage encounters with teams from the region's cultural facilities. Students from Lycée Beaupré in Haubourdin were able to discover LaM and even exhibit their work!

LaM and Atelier 2
Every year, LaM and Atelier 2 open their doors to six classes from nursery and primary schools in Villeneuve d'Ascq as part of the art classes. This artistic and cultural education scheme gives pupils the chance to spend a special time in a museum and an arts centre, experimenting for a week with their creativity based on a theme.

Modigliani's secrets
Between 2018 and 2019, two lower secondary school classes and one upper secondary school class were involved in the Les Secrets de Modigliani project, which aimed to find out more about the technique used by the famous Italian artist. The pupils followed each stage of the process of analysing the works, visiting the LaM and then the C2RMF in Paris for a tour of the research laboratory.
