DETAILS: 1859-1891 - Georges-Pierre Seurat 60 works of art to discover in this sassy series where the animated characters never mince words! Rafael, serious and studious, Mona, witty and intuitive and Nabi the youngest, full of mischief and make-believe, spontaneously tell us what they think about art. A painting, a suit of armour, a sculpture or an ancient vase inspire them to invent stories, question, laugh and sometimes mock those things unfamiliar to them. But curiosity always wins over and their not so always naive questions lead them to find out more. They learn about the artists´ backgrounds, technical and artistic movements and their historical context. These works of art seen from every angle will encourage kids everywhere to have a mind of their own about art and better appreciate the treasures museums hold for them.
