Micro-folie : les petits secrets des grands tableaux

In partnership with arte.

All year round, every Thursday between 10 am and 1 pm.

Micro-Folie Cogolin opens its doors to you at the Château! Come and discover this place of life and exchange, which brings together three spaces:

– A digital museum

Discover, admire and interact with a unique cultural offering made up of numerous masterpieces! Collections from national and international museums are visible on the big screen. Thanks to the collaboration of 12 founding national cultural establishments*, discover the secrets of the Mona Lisa, the Château de Versailles and even Egyptian Antiquity. Digital tablets will allow you to find more detailed information on each projected work, zoom in and access fun video content.

– A space dedicated to virtual reality

Within this space, two headsets and around twenty educational contents on the themes of art, science and nature are offered with free access, thanks to the partnership established between Micro-Folie and Arte. Immerse yourself in the heart of works of art and documentaries thanks to a selection of immersive 360° content: step into a Claude Monet painting, swim with dolphins, go into the stratosphere or discover Pompeii for a volcanic journey into the antiquity !
With its armchairs, tables and chairs, this space is also a friendly place where you can take the time to chat or browse the art books available to you. A cultural mediator welcomes you every day to guide you and advise you.
