About L'Atelier des Lumières

The ‘L'Atelier des Lumières’ (which translates to "Workshop of Lights") is a digital art museum in Paris and you will understand why it's called that as soon as you arrive.

A unique venue dedicated to immersive art experiences by blending the use of cutting-edge technology and art. The gallery only opened in April 2018 but has quickly gained popularity as a must-visit cultural destination in Paris.

The centrepiece of the Atelier des Lumières is its large exhibition hall which has high-definition digital projectors that cover the walls and floors with vibrant and dynamic images so you are surrounded by art, moving images, animations, and soundscapes, which creates an immersive and multisensory experience unlike any traditional art gallery.

The exhibitions at the Atelier des Lumières focus on famous artists or art movements and each presentation lasts around 30 minutes and are looped throughout the day, so if you arrive half-way through, don't worry. Past exhibitions have featured the works of artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, and Claude Monet, amongst others and there are several different exhibitions throughout the year.

Atelier des Lumières works with digital artists to breathe new life into classic works of art by presenting them in a modern digital format that enhances their visual impact and emotional resonance. The fresh new approach appeals to both art enthusiasts and those who may not typically visit traditional art galleries.

2025 Exhibits Include

  • PICASSO - ART IN MOTION: Running from 14 February to 29 June. The exhibit celebrates Pablo Picasso with works from throughout his career that show of his energy.
  • ROUSSEAU - A WORLD OF DREAM: Running from 14 February to 29 June. An exhibit based on Henri Rousseau and his modern approach to art in industrial-era Paris.
