Art Monet shines at Fabrique des Lumières

From September 19 Fabrique des Lumières opens a new light show featuring works by Monet and Rousseau, complemented by the contemporary installation #mygirlwithapearl. A colorful ode to impressionism and imagination.

Fabrique des Lumières is known for large-scale light projections that literally surround you. This new show is all about impressionism and the dream worlds of two greats: Claude Monet and Henri Rousseau.

The room opens with Monet, the master of light. His water lilies, cathedrals and bridges are set in motion so that you feel his brushstrokes play with the sunlight. The music enhances that experience: flowing sounds that almost make you believe you are walking through the gardens of Giverny yourself.

Next comes Rousseau, famous for his imaginative jungles filled with exotic animals. In Fabrique des Lumières, those works become an enchanted landscape in which tigers prowl by and leaves rustle. The contrast with Monet is stark, but the combination works surprisingly well: where Monet elevates the familiar, Rousseau opens up a dream world.

As a bonus, there is #mygirlwithapearl, a contemporary installation that puts Vermeer's iconic painting into a digital remix. Here you can see how old art takes new forms and how classics continue to inspire even in the digital age.

"From Monet's water lilies to Rousseau's jungles - Fabrique des Lumières lets impressionism breathe."

The mix of impressionism, fantasy and modern nod makes this show suitable for a wide audience. You don't have to be an art connoisseur to be touched; the experience works directly on your senses. It's perfect for a family outing, a creative date or an evening of different-than-other in the city.

Fabrique des Lumières once again proves with this program why it has become so popular in a short time. It combines art history with contemporary technology and turns it into an experience that will stay with you - and is guaranteed to fill your smartphone with photos and videos.
