The Musée has been involved with the Mobilisation des Porteurs des droits des enfants, a children’s rights organization, since 2015. It aligns with Article 13 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and advocates for the right: “You have the right to express your thoughts, while respecting others. You can express yourself in many ways, including through art.”
