A fun adventure in pursuit of the squirrel who sneaks into the museum! After listening to the squirrel's tale, children visit Calculations and Coincidences with a guide and collect the transparent geometric shapes left for them in front of some of the works in the exhibition and place them on their squirrel-shaped templates. Afterwards, the children go down to the workshop and use their flashlights to reflect the colorful geometric shapes in their squirrels' bellies on the wall in a dark environment and have a pleasant experience woven with colors and shapes.
