Make colours like in the Middle Ages

In this hands-on workshop, students discover how pigments were once created from plants, stones and other natural materials.

They step into a space that feels more like an alchemist’s lab than an art studio: scented vapours, jars, mortars and mysterious ingredients… Guided step by step, students will experiment and transform plants into vibrant colours.

What to expect?

A playful museum visit focused on colour, followed by experiments and creative work using the pigments made together.

A unique experience where science, heritage and creativity meet.
