Pencil box ‘Blue Hippopotamus’

The “Hieroglyphs” collection designed by Sam Baron is dedicated to the museum’s young visitors thanks to a colourful and playful interpretation of this complex and mysterious language in which the symbols do not represent letters but concepts.

Through everyday objects such as backpacks, notebooks, stamps, pencil cases… the museum’s young public is led to joyfully learn another way of expressing and communicating.

Each object is also signed with a free adaptation of the word “Louvre” as it could be phonetically transcribed into hieroglyphics.
