The digital museum is a micro place to live to observe masterpieces from around the world on a giant screen, comfortably seated in an armchair.

In Chazey-sur-Ain, the public is invited to a free and fun visit to the most beautiful museums in the world. Just watch the works scroll by in cinematic definition. A tablet allows you to put your artistic favorites in a virtual basket to better appreciate them after viewing. A digital and fun visit for all ages, whether you are simply curious or a connoisseur.

A cultural mediator is also present to discuss, answer questions and offer a conference session on the current temporary exhibition.

Virtual reality film workshops are offered on art themes. Experience the eruption of the volcano on Pompeï, climb Notre-Dame de Paris, immerse yourself in Monet's Water Lilies...

The place is part of the Micro-Folies initiative initiated by the Ministry of Culture and the Parc de la Villette. The aim is to enliven rural areas by offering inhabitants access to the treasures of the greatest regional, national and international cultural institutions.

The temporary exhibitions and thematic self-guided tours will change every month.
