Equipped with a virtual reality headset, enter the hushed atmosphere of the first Impressionist exhibition - reconstructed for the very first time - and meet the painters when they were still young artists with an uncertain destiny.As you stroll along, excursions will take you outside the exhibition, to the places that marked the beginnings of the movement. You'll be transported to the Salon, then to the studio of painter Fr茅d茅ric Bazille, where the idea for the exhibition was born; to the island of Grenouill猫re, where Monet and Renoir painted together; and finally to Le Havre, where Monet executed his famous painting Impression, Soleil Levant. These escapes will give you a better grasp of the links between the members of the group, the substance of their quest and the importance of the artistic movement they were inventing.
