Atelier des Lumieres
About
Atelier des Lumières, situated in a 19th‑century foundry on 38 rue Saint‑Maur, 75011 Paris, has been a beacon of digital art since 2018. The former steel foundry was transformed into a 3,300‑m² immersive experience where towering walls and a historic brick chimney frame a portfolio of animated masterpieces. Five interactive spaces – the Halle, the Citerne, the Tour des Miroirs, La Capsule bar, and the Pedagogical Space – offer visitors a multi‑sensory journey through works by Van Gogh, Klimt, Picasso, and many others. Each exhibition blends high‑resolution video projection with spatial audio, creating a cinematic voyage that captivates adults, children, and families alike. The venue’s blend of industrial heritage and cutting‑edge technology makes it a must‑visit cultural landmark in Paris.
