Munari and Nature Camp

From 3P-5P

July 8 to 12, 2024

Munari and Nature Camp

Talking forks, travel sculptures, unreadable books : all works invented by Bruno Munari, the artist and visionary dubbed “the Leonardo da Vinci of the 20th century” by Pablo Picasso.

 

Through creative workshops, nature outings and visits to cultural institutions, we offer immersion in Munari’s art and aesthetics through manipulation, sensory exploration and play.

 

Join us for a memorable week, where nature and imagination intertwine to create an enriching and stimulating experience.
