Have you ever been enchanted by the colourful animals of the Fables Room?

Every visitor of the House of European History starts their journey of the museum through a beautiful room, carefully decorated with the animals of the fables of Jean de la Fontaine. 

But, oh no! Some of the animals have escaped! They want to learn more about the works of art and creative artistic techniques in our museum collection!

Can you help us find them?

One animal is hiding on each floor of the exhibition - they want you to take a closer look at the artwork they have chosen and try their artistic challenges.

During each of the five stops, the animals invite you to look at the art in a different way. In our museum, looking from different angles and perspectives is very important, because there are many sides to a story, and many sides to history! Ask yourself different questions about the art - what shape is it? What does it represent? Does it tell a story? Why is it in a museum?

At the end of the trail, come back to the Fables Room and browse through the books of La Fontaine’s Fables from Bimbi Books, a multilingual children’s bookshop based in Ixelles, and use inspiration from your visit to add your favourite object to the collaborative artwork.

Are you ready to take the trail?
