Two outings this weekend
Sunday June 16, 2024, at 2:30 p.m., the Gévaudan museum, in Mende, is organizing a Sunday guided tour, special Prehistory. Duration: 1 hour, free, reservation recommended. Sunday June 16, at 4:30 p.m., show how Taïm and Yuna invented music. Taïm and Yuna, two children from prehistoric times, are very curious. During their walks in the great forest, they listen to the noises made by the plants in the wind, the birds on the branches and the stones under their feet… These sounds seem so beautiful to them that they will try to reproduce them, then to improve them. They will thus manufacture the first musical instruments in the world. Duration: 1 hour, free, free entry subject to availability. Information and reservations, from the Gévaudan museum, on 04 66 49 85 85 or www.musee-du-gevaudan.fr.
