The exhibition "The Pharaohs of Egypt" at the Atelier des Lumières, running from February 9, 2024, to January 5, 2025, offers a fascinating immersion into Pharaonic Egypt.
From the outset, a virtual sandstorm sets the mood, followed by the projection of David Roberts' works, providing a visual journey through ancient Egypt. Spectators are enveloped in darkness, experiencing the exhibition with music and freely exploring the architectural and artistic treasures of this ancient civilization. The Atelier des Lumières employs a variety of techniques to digitize masterpieces from international collections, with the assistance of experts like Ubisoft for 3D modeling and the Egyptologist Jean Olette-Pelletier as a scientific advisor.
This immersive exhibition allows for the rediscovery of the Pharaohs of Egypt, from Cheops to Ramses II, through mythical masterpieces. From grains of sand lifted by the wind to the wonders of ancient architecture, visitors will embark on a sensory journey along the Nile, admiring monumental sculptures, royal jewels, and even projections of Tutankhamun's tomb.
For those wishing to visit, there are undated tickets offering flexibility for 25 euros (adult) or 20 euros (young), and timed tickets starting at 16.50 euros for an adult.
This exhibition is not only a celebration of ancient Egypt but also a technological feat that invites an immersive exploration of its rich cultural heritage!
