Play Cart

The Play Cart is a travelling trolley created to provide a unique experience at MACAM, with playful and artistic activities inspired by the works in the exhibitions and other spaces in the museum. Participants can explore different forms of artistic expression, such as drawing, painting, collage, writing and acting. 

Every month, Play Cart moves on to a new theme, presenting fresh proposals and encouraging participants to return to the museum for future initiatives.

Just turn up and roll up your sleeves to experience art in a special way! A member of the MeP team will be waiting to surprise you.

At the museum, we reflected on everyone’s right to make their voice heard and to participate in shaping the world they inhabit, because here, too, bridges are built, ideas are sown, and the future is imagined.
