Description

Nestled in the heart of Les Baux-de-Provence, these former limestone quarries, opened in 2012, provide a stunning natural setting for digital projections. Each visit becomes a unique immersive experience, where art and stone come together to captivate young and old alike!

This fall, the Carrières des Lumières will once again be transformed into a monumental setting of light, art, and music, offering a spectacular immersion in the world of the master of color, Henri Matisse.

From the bright interiors of Nice to the paper cut-outs of his later years, the immersive experience traces the evolution of his art, where the freedom of gesture and the power of color are brought to life, accompanied by a soundtrack blending classical music with more contemporary works.

Younger visitors will marvel at the colorful world in motion, while older ones will rediscover the artist from a new perspective.

For the first time, the public is invited to discover the artist and his works in a fully immersive experience, where lights, shapes and music come together to reveal the richness of his universe. This unique encounter with the master of color offers an experience where each work resonates with emotion and poetry in the exceptional setting of the Carrières des Lumières.

Presented right after the immersive experience 'Matisse, la symphonie des couleurs', the short program 'Frida Kahlo, en plein cœur' invites visitors to explore the intimacy and creative power of the Mexican artist, in an explosion of colors, symbols, and emotions.

Experiences to enjoy with family, friends, or by yourself for a unique break!
