Louvre Abu Dhabi’s Children’s Museum, A Costume Adventure is an interactive adventure game concept inspired by the clothing portrayed in artworks from the museum’s permanent galleries.
The adventure includes multiple stages, each presenting a unique challenge for children aged 4 – 10, through six stages designed to inspire, stimulate imagination and curiosity, and spark a love of learning and critical observation.
Visitors begin by creating a personal avatar that will undergo the entire journey through interactive multimedia displays. With a wristband that records the points collected, children face a series of encounters with prominent figures represented in the artwork. Each stage presents a special mission to retrieve an item of clothing or accessory through various challenges, from drop and drag to spot the difference.
Children continue the adventure in the first floor of the Children’s Museum where they find replicas of the costumes they have discovered to experience the inner workings of the artists’ choices, while making some of their own.
For children aged three years and younger, a specialised Toddlers’ Space offers simplified construction games using figurines, materials and rag dolls. Finally, a quiet reading area, overlooking the central promenades under the museum’s dome, holds more than 600 books, including picture books, colouring books and more.
Entrance to the Children’s Museum is free with the museum’s admission ticket (AED 63). Museum’s admission is free for children under the age of 13. More info here
