Farnese dei Piccoli is born: three meetings to introduce young people to art and the Palazzo Farnese Museums.
Published on 11 February 2026 • children at the museum
For the first time, the Palazzo Farnese Museums are opening their doors to children with “Farnese dei Piccoli,” a new educational initiative promoted by Farnese Factory and FavellArte , designed for children up to 6 years old and their families.
The project is structured around three sessions dedicated to exploring the museum through play, listening, and shared experiences. This program is designed to introduce children to art and history in a natural and engaging way, stimulating curiosity, imagination, and active participation, while always respecting the pace and sensitivity of their age. Each session will feature activities tailored specifically for children, alternating moments of storytelling, observation, and simple creative experiences, with the goal of transforming the museum visit into an opportunity for connection and discovery to be enjoyed together with families.
With "Farnese dei Piccoli," Farnese Factory renews its commitment to enhancing cultural heritage and promoting inclusive and accessible access to the Palazzo Farnese Museums, recognizing the fundamental role of cultural education from early childhood. The meetings will take place at the Palazzo Farnese Museums and are aimed at families with children up to age 6 .
