Step inside artworks at Paris' digital-art museum, L'Atelier des Lumières
FRANCE // Paris' creative nerve centre, the 11th arrondissement (city district), is the home of France's first museum for digital art, which opened in 2018. An early 19th- century foundry now forms the backdrop for dazzling multisensory exhibitions. Within this innovative space, you can take a virtual stroll through a changing array of world- renowned artworks as they're projected on the bare stone of its 1500-sq-metre (16,145-sq-ft) exhibition hall, accompanied by an atmospheric soundtrack, providing an immersive, almost meditative experience. Programs have included the vivid creations of Gustav Klimt and the expressive brushstrokes and intense colors of Vincent Van Gogh's works swirling across the walls and creating a magic carpet effect on its floors, as well as the Zen-like Japan dreamed: images of the floating world'.
