Zajęcia dla dzieci i młodzieży: dinozaury, przyroda, nauki o Ziemi (przedszkole – gimnazjum) Opis: Podczas zajęć dzieci mają możliwość obejrzenia, dotknięcia i przeprowadzenia prostych doświadczeń z użyciem skał i minerałów wykorzystywanych przez człowieka do produkcji przedmiotów codziennego użytku wykonanych ze szkła, metali oraz innych surowców naturalnych. Uczestnicy warsztatu obserwują skały reagujące na magnes, elektryzujące się, twarde i miękkie, lite i sypkie, rozpuszczające się w wodzie, o różnej gęstości. Posługują się wagą, magnesami, a także (na etapie szkolnym) prostym sprzętem laboratoryjnym. Miłośnicy dinozaurów mogą zobaczyć piasek, po którym chodziły jurajskie gady.

The Museum of Modern Art “It would not be a commonplace portrait at all, but a carefully composed picture, with very carefully arranged colors and lines. A rhythmic and angular pose. A decorative Félix, entering with his hat or a flower in his hand.” This painting, a masterpiece in the Museum’s collection, will be the centerpiece of Félix Fénéon, the first exhibition dedicated to Fénéon (1861–1944). The exhibition will feature some 130 objects, including major works that Fénéon admired, championed, and collected, as well as contemporary photographs, letters, and publications that trace key chapters in his biography.
