An immersive art experience you will never forget

150 years ago in Paris, 30 artists got together to change the course of art history. Embark on an exclusive, virtual reality encounter with iconic French artists.

Meet the great pioneers of the Impressionist movement

Claude Monet

Claude Monet, a founding member of the Impressionist group, is renowned for his plein air paintings and iconic Water Lilies series, inspired by his garden at Giverny and the changing light of the Normandy region.

Edgar Degas

A founding member of the Impressionist group, Edgar Degas is renowned for his depictions of Parisian life, particularly dancers, café interiors, and working women.

Paul Cézanne

Deeply connected to the landscapes of his native Aix-en-Provence, Cézanne brought a revolutionary approach to painting with his bold brushwork and exploration of form, leaving a lasting impact on  modern art.

Berthe Morisot

One of the few women in the Impressionist movement, Berthe Morisot depicted modern life with remarkable sensitivity, often facing criticism for her perceived 'feminine' style.

Camille Pissarro

Camille Pissarro, the oldest and most steadfast of the Impressionists, was a master of atmospheric effects and a mentor to his peers, notably influencing the movement with his dedication to plein air painting.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

A talented young artist and close friend of Monet and Renoir, captured modern subjects in light tones before his untimely death in the Franco-Prussian War, leaving behind a promising yet short-lived career.
