When to visit Mundolingua Museum of Languages (Mundolingua Musée des Langues)
The museum is open daily from midmorning to evening, including on Christmas and New Year’s Day. A number of workshops, conferences, lectures, and other special events (including the occasional game night) are held here throughout the year, though in most cases, participating will require a working knowledge of French.
