Preparing to guide a group

We strongly recommend choosing activities guided by mahJ guides. The mahJ's guides are used to meeting the specific needs of all audiences. And they have the art of bringing the collection and exhibitions to life!

Preparing to guide your group

If you would like to speak at the museum, take part in a training visit (for social workers) or get some training. Submit your request for the right to speak to the social or disability correspondent. You will be granted the right to speak on the basis of this prior preparation. Here are our suggestions for training.

Come and see the mahJ by yourself!

> Use the audio guide to the permanent collection, available free of charge from reception.

> On the^1st Saturday of the month from October to June, the collection is free. The Shabbat is a Festival tour at 3pm is available without reservation. It's the ideal way to get to know the museum for the first time.

> Discover the visit aids, the game booklets, the discovery trail for all ages, the family pack (3 - 10 years) for the collection or exhibitions by requesting the presentation of these tools at the ticket office.

This approach allows you to build your bearings in the space and define a few objects on which to focus your visit.

Various aids for families and children, such as the ‘ Mallette des familles ’ activity booklet.An visit guide avalaible on Bloomberg connects.
