Portraits and hidden drawings offer two different ways for children to look closely.
Meet a portrait through its story
Try letting your child choose a portrait, then read its accompanying story and look again for details in the clothing. Réhahn's collection connects photographs with garments and personal stories, while the indigo room adds a textile-making perspective. Following one person's story gives the family more to discuss than simply naming a costume or moving from one colourful image to another.
Find hidden pictures, then look again
You could spend around 45–60 minutes with a few portraits, the indigo section and the museum's free UV-torch activity. Children follow the instructions to reveal hidden wall drawings, giving the visit a change of pace. Afterwards, return to the portrait they chose at the start and ask whether there is another detail they now want to understand or a question worth exploring.
Address and same-day equipment
The museum is at 26 Phan Boi Chau, distinct from Réhahn's other galleries. Its official page lists free entry and daily 08:00–20:00 hours. Ask about torches and stroller access on arrival, and help younger children follow staff instructions. Arrange any hoped-for meeting with the photographer separately.
