Description
On Wednesday, April 15, 1874, at 8 p.m., a pivotal moment in art history was about to unfold. Around thirty painters, including Monet, Pissarro, and Renoir, gathered in photographer Nadar’s studio to showcase 165 works outside the official Salon. Bold, groundbreaking, and completely revolutionary, this was the first Impressionist exhibition. Now, thanks to a cutting-edge virtual reality experience, you can step back in time 150 years and relive this historic night alongside these then-unknown artists—before they became legends. Visit the official Salon, Bazille’s studio where the exhibition idea first took shape, Le Grenouillère where Monet and Renoir set up their easels, and Le Havre, where Monet painted his famous Impression, Soleil Levant. Past and present come together in this captivating VR experience—an unparalleled opportunity to dive into one of the most influential artistic movements in history.
