From October 19th to October 27th 2013
October 19-20 and 26-27 from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m.
How about spending Halloween at the Museum this year?
Paying activity, included with admission to the Museum
Children will enjoy a whimsical look (with some thrills and chills, naturally) at the cultural origins of Halloween and associated beliefs, as they tour the Museum. According to Jack O'Lantern, a young Irishman condemned to wander through purgatory with only a lantern carved from a turnip, the remains are haunted by twins Rucht and Friucht, a very superstitious witch and a Druid magician who knows the secret of light ... and courage. Ready? Set? Boo!
- Plan for about 45 minutes to complete this tour accompanied by an interpreter-guide.
- Places for each group are limited.
- English tours for the general public are offered at 12:50 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
