VIRTUAL REALITY IMMERSION IN THE SERVICE OF HISTORY

This exhibition revolutionized art history with bold creations that defied tradition.

Relive the early days of this artistic movement, meet its major figures, and travel through legendary locations like Le Havre, La Grenouillère, and Saint-Lazare station as they looked 150 years ago!
