Art from childhood, for every child

It Is Now — art in hospital

With the non-profit It Is Now, Art Explora commissions digital artists to create works that respond to movement, light and sound. Installed in paediatric wards and hospital lobbies, they give children in hospital and their families moments of play, creativity and escape, accessible whatever the disability. The first was installed in 2020 at Necker Children’s Hospital in Paris; the programme has since expanded to other hospitals in France and the United Kingdom.

MuMo — the museum that comes to children

Founded in 2011 by Ingrid Brochard, MuMo starts from a simple idea: if children don’t go to the museum, the museum comes to them. Its trucks set up in schoolyards, after-school centres and village squares with around fifteen original works — including pieces from the Centre Pompidou — and guided visits designed for young audiences. The MuMo x Centre Pompidou truck was built with Art Explora, and since 2025 the Mobile Museum has been part of the Foundation.

Art Explora Academy

Launched in 2021, Art Explora Academy offers short learning paths designed with Sorbonne University’s art history faculty, plus a library of over a thousand videos, podcasts and articles. Entirely free, usable in the classroom or on the bus, it lets teenagers and anyone curious discover art at their own pace.
