Le scatole dei segreti di Niki de Saint Phalle
Two years after a show devoted to Swiss artist Jean Tinguely, the cheerful and colorful universe of Niki de Saint Phalle — Tinguely's wife and artistic collaborator — has come to the Museo in Erba in Bellinzona, Switzerland.
Le scatole dei segreti di Niki de Saint Phalle, a child-friendly exhibition in the form of an interactive game, is the fruit of a collaboration between Lausanne's Center Culturel d'Aide à la Jeunesse and the Musée en Herbe in Paris. It consists of 14 modules exploring the artist's work, short texts and games. The show gives autonomous, active children a rare opportunity to dive into an artistic universe full of life, joy and color.
The exhibition, which opened 12 September 2009, will continue through 28 February 2010. Learn more.

The exhibit, which runs through 24 May 2010 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, is open Wednesdays through Mondays from 11 am to 9 pm. Adult admission is 6 euros. Read more.
