A tribute to Claude Monet’s art
Imagine Monet is the exhibition created by the French directors Annabelle Mauger and Julien Baron, the world's first directors of a digital immersive exhibition. Imagine Monet starts with the famous painting Impression, Sunrise (1872) and closes with the renowned Water Lilies series (1914-1926). This experience features over 200 well-known masterpieces by Claude Monet.
360° projections on walls and floor will plunge visitors into a waking dream, thanks to state-of-the-art Image Totale© technology.
