During spring break, the MAPI invites you to enjoy a different experience, with workshops and activities designed for children and families. Through playful, educational, and creative proposals, participants can approach art, archaeology, and Indigenous cultures in a participatory and fun way.

With options adapted for different ages, each workshop combines tours of the museum, object making, games, and discoveries, in a setting specially designed for learning and enjoying the school break.

○ Clay Birds. Indigenous Pottery Workshop.

Many years ago, along the Uruguay River, there lived groups of people known for creating wonderful clay pieces. Among these were the “bells,” which were given that name because their shape resembles this object. Many of these bells were shaped like birds.
