Introduction to engraving workshop

Ticketing

New - Introduction to engraving workshop

Discover the art of engraving practised by the craftsmen of La Monnaie de Paris, and reproduce the engraver's gestures to make your own medal.

Engravers imagine, design and make the tools (dies) used to strike medals and coins. Participants are invited to reproduce the craftsmen's gestures based on a motif chosen or created by them. A visit to the museum completes this workshop, which is reserved for older children, to give them a better understanding of the different stages in the production of medals and to discover the history of the art of medal making.
