It’s the return of family weekend: Surprise Clutch!
For two days, Le LaM transforms into a real ducasse d'antan, imagined by the multidisciplinary artist Clément Courgeon.
Between carnival, artistic installations, shows and workshops, the whole family is invited to live an immersive experience in the heart of the popular traditions of the North.
Throughout the Ducasse, you can also enjoy a popcorn stand, a tavern and offers catering, snacks, as well as relaxation areas and reading nooks.
Weekend program:
Continuous:

  • Artistic workshops : make your extravagant hats, lucky charms, decorations, or even ephemeral makeup.
  • Fairground games : duck fishing, mudding, massacre games... The great classics of the ducasse to share with family.
    Shows and activities
  • Le Grand Guignol (12h / 14h / 15h / 16h, both days): puppets, theater and fairground fantasy come together in a show as funny as it is unpredictable.
  • Lisa Signorini predicts your future (12h - 14h and 15h - 16h both days): in her mysterious trailer, let yourself be drawn the cards and discover what the future could reserve for you...
  • Choreographed wrestling matches (2:30 pm and 4:30 pm, both days): spectacular choreographed fights that bring the world of the carnival into dialogue with that of the museum.
  • Archery (from 3 pm to 5 pm, for 11 years and over, on both days): an address challenge to aim for the highest score!
  • Children’s Boom, with Radio Minus (from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, on Saturdays): the museum turns into a great dancefloor for both young and old!
    Discovering the museum with your family
  • Flash visits (1:30 pm / 3 pm / 4 pm both days): short, interactive tours to explore the works in a different way.
  • Stories for toddlers (11:30 / 13:30 / 16:00, both days): stories told with a kamishibai, a small Japanese shadow theatre, around the works of the museum.
