Atelier des Lumières: the immersive exhibition alongside Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo to discover from March 13

The Atelier des Lumières in Paris is gearing up for another exceptional artistic season. From March 13, 2026, a unique immersive exhibition transports you to the heart of the Italian Renaissance. Three geniuses – Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo – come to life on the walls of this former foundry in the 11th arrondissement.

An immersive exhibition at the heart of the Italian Renaissance

This new digital creation celebrates the greatest masters of the Renaissance. For almost an hour, visitors find themselves surrounded by monumental works projected onto 3,300 m² of floor space. Paintings, frescoes and drawings by these legendary artists invade the space in spectacular fashion.

The immersive exhibition highlights universally famous masterpieces. The Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and the Sistine Chapel appear in a completely new light. What’s more, details invisible to the naked eye suddenly become accessible to all eyes.

This unique sensory experience lasts around 50 minutes. It allows visitors to rediscover five centuries of art history in a single visit. The artistic journey blends painting, sculpture and architecture with remarkable fluidity.

“Contemplate the Mona Lisa, the Last Supper, the Sistine Chapel and many other Renaissance treasures in a different way”.

Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo reunited

For the first time, these three titans of the art world come together in the same space. Their creative genius dialogues through monumental projections. As a result, visitors can compare their styles and techniques in real time.

Each artist is shown in a dedicated sequence, highlighting his or her major works. Raphael’s vibrant colors contrast with Vinci’s chiaroscuro. Michelangelo’s powerful figures, on the other hand, impose an entirely different emotion.

• The Mona Lisa and iconic works by Leonardo da Vinci
• Michelangelo’s monumental frescoes in the Sistine Chapel
• Raphael’s Madonnas and delicate portraits
• The Last Supper projected in minute detail
• Drawings and sketches rarely exhibited to the general public

L’Atelier des Lumières – the perfect setting for this immersive exhibition

Located at 38 rue Saint-Maur in the 11th arrondissement, this atypical venue welcomes visitors to a converted industrial setting. The former foundry features gigantic walls perfect for digital projections. The building’s raw architecture enhances the visual impact of the works.

The AMIEX technology used by Atelier des Lumières guarantees exceptional image quality. Dozens of synchronized video projectors cover every available surface. The floor itself becomes a living canvas for visitors to walk on.

This immersive exhibition is distinguished by its carefully composed soundtrack. The music perfectly accompanies each painting and each transition. It also creates an atmosphere conducive to contemplation and artistic emotion.

Access to the site is easy, thanks to Parisian public transport. Several metro lines serve the rue Saint-Maur district. You can now book your tickets online to avoid the sometimes long queues.

A program spanning several months

The exhibition opens on February 14, 2026 and runs for many months. This allows a wide audience to enjoy the experience. The various time slots can also be adapted to suit individual needs.

The Atelier des Lumières offers this immersive exhibition all day long. Sessions run non-stop from morning to night. In short, visitors can choose the time that suits them best.

Why experience this immersive exhibition in 2026?

This experience offers a different approach to art history. It makes accessible works that are sometimes difficult to see in traditional museums. The Sistine Chapel, for example, usually requires a trip to Rome.

The immersive exhibition appeals to all audiences, from children to senior citizens. The visual and audio format appeals to those who don’t necessarily visit museums. It’s an ideal gateway to the Italian Renaissance.

Art lovers will also be delighted by the details revealed. The enlarged images reveal nuances invisible on the originals. This virtual proximity to the masterpieces creates a unique bond with the artists.

L’Atelier des Lumières confirms its position as a benchmark for digital exhibitions in Paris. With this new creation, it invites the public to experience art differently. This immersive exhibition devoted to the masters of the Renaissance promises moments of wonder for all those who pass through its doors in 2026.
