The Building Site is an interactive exhibition designed specifically for children aged 3 to 6 to explore the world of construction. Through hands-on activities, young visitors collaborate to build structures, operate cranes, and work as a team to dream up their own architectural designs.
The Building Site invites young children to slip on a hi-vis vest and a hard hat to take on roles like works supervisor or builder. The space is carefully designed to foster collaboration, communication, and creative thinking, allowing children to learn how to stack, balance, and transport materials to construct their own buildings. By working together in this immersive environment, children not only learn the mechanics of construction but also build self-confidence through social interaction. Central to the exhibition are interactive stations such as the unfinished house, where children use foam bricks to complete a framework, and the realistic crane machine, which challenges them to coordinate their movements to transport heavy items. These experiences are crafted to encourage experimentation, problem-solving, and shared discovery, providing a safe, playful setting for children to explore the basics of construction while engaging in active, cooperative play.
The Building Site is part of the exhibitions at Le Vaisseau. Visitors are encouraged to check the official website for admission details and museum opening hours to plan their visit.
