Paris art galleries for kids

I am visiting Paris with my family in 2 weeks. My 7 year old daughter is into art and I'd love to take her to a couple of galleries. Does anyone have any recommendations for galleries good for modern/abstract art as that seems to be what she is most interested in? Also, if anyone knows of any art workshops or lessons for kids that would be a fantastic experience for her too. Thanks.

the Pompidou has the best collection of 20thC - they always have childrens events as do most museums and galleries - usually in french though

Do you mean an art gallery (where the works are for sale) or an art museum (where the works are on display)? If you mean a museum, the Pompidou is probably the premier modern art museum in Paris.

There's also the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, although I've never been.

You might also look into a street art walking tour, as there is a lot of street art in Paris (you can have her start by looking for the Space Invader mosaics on buildings), especially in the Marais.

I mean Art Museum (thanks for pointing that out!) I hadn't come across the street art idea - very excited for that!

While I realize it isn't modern art, there are DIY Louvre scavenger hunts, or you can buy a kit. Google it up.

Many art galleries in Paris have something special, interactive/workshops, for children. You can get an idea of what’s available here:

The Atelier des Lumieres might be interesting. Currently an exposition on Egypt I think.

I was just going to suggest the Atelier des Lumieres. It's fun for kids. You need to buy your tickets online.

You might also check AirBnB Experiences for art classes.
