In 2024, Atelier des Lumières will present two new immersive exhibitions: a long programme, ‘The Egypt of the Pharaohs. From Kheops to Ramses II’, and a short programme, ‘The Orientalists. Ingres, Delacroix, Gérôme... ’.
The Egypt of the Pharaohs. From Kheops to Ramses II
LONG PROGRAMME:
The Atelier des Lumières’ new digital exhibition invites visitors to step back in time and rediscover Egypt at the time of the Pharaohs, through masterpieces of Antiquity. This legendary civilisation, spanning three millennia, fascinates and captivates young and old alike.
The Orientalists. Ingres, Delacroix, Gérôme...
SHORT PROGRAMME:
In the 19th century, the doors of the Orient opened to Western painters attracted by the mysteries of far off lands. Dazzled by the light of the far south, which reveals the topography of these arid landscapes and highlights the colours of the buildings’ spectacular motifs, Orientalists like Delacroix, Gérôme and Ingres, and other major names from European expressionism, now invite visitors to embark on a pictorial expedition to the new, exotic and bewitching world of the Orient of our dreams.
