The “Kids Take Over Day” project by Mudam Luxembourg, in partnership with UP_FOUNDATION, aimed to transform the traditional relationship between the museum and its young audience. Inspired by Palle Nielsen’s work The Model, this innovative initiative offered children the opportunity to reimagine and recreate the museum experience, placing them at the heart of the creative process.

Throughout the project, children aged 4 to 12 actively participated in creative workshops where their ideas were heard, respected, and concretely realized. The highlight was a full day of activities designed by and for children: the Kids Take Over Day, a participatory celebration that brought together more than 1,000 visitors.

This initiative strengthened the synergy between the museum teams and integrated children as genuine influential actors in the museum’s life. The young participants’ creations were sustained, notably through the co-creation of artworks with artists and the development of original derivative products.
