Programme
The first route of the museum ship will be the Mediterranean, an area of millennia of history and exchange, which has always mobilized and nourished the inspiration of artists, and naturally invites intercultural dialogue.
Discover the programme of activities on the quayside and in the towns: performances, concerts, conferences, screenings, workshops, meetings and other events.

Stroll - These words in which we circulate - David Poullard - Bureau des Guides du GR2013
All around us, as we walk through the city, are texts, words and letters. David Poullard invites us to discover this scriptural hubbub, which has a form, an origin, a state of existence conducive to raising questions, and rich in teaching for those who take the time to cast an inquisitive eye over it. He will question a series of "cases" on a walk that will take us from Réformés to the Old Port, passing through three distinct neighborhoods.
Combined visit - ELLES! exhibition at the Children's Museum / Présentes! exhibition at the Children's Museum
Sign up for a combined visit to the ELLES! exhibition at the Préau des Accoules - Musée des enfants and the immersive Présentes! exhibition aboard the museum boat.
Workshop - The constellation of museums - Collectif Hawaf
La constellation des musées is a collaborative, participatory workshop where everyone is invited to take part in the design and construction of an imaginary museum, from its architecture to its art collection. In response to the Sahab Museum, which currently lives alone on its planet, this collective construction is an invitation to travel, and will be the fruit of the combined imagination of the participating children. The imaginary museum will be built using simple materials such as wood, cardboard, paper, stickers and glue, and will be colored and painted using felt-tip pens, colored pencils and paint.
Compagnie DK Bel
C'est BEAU!", a Cultural Olympiad - Paris 2024 project, aims to explore the notion of BEAUTY as expressed by the poet Charles Baudelaire, for whom BEAUTY is linked to the bizarre, chaos, pain and fragility of Being. This piece borrows these four notions and adds "Flight", thus becoming a powerful symbol of optimism and unity.

Every year in France, there are almost 4.5 million volunteers in the cultural field. The challenges of access to the arts and culture are manifold. Are there any specific aspects to citizen involvement in culture? How and, above all, why should it be encouraged? Moderated by Sébastien Thubert, Director of Volunteering for the Art Explora Foundation
