A fully immersive sound & light show making spectacular use of the space both visually & sonically. Paradoxically, it brings light & joy to an edifice created in darkness & with malice. At least the lives lost & entombed were not for nothing. Well worth a visit for an exceptional experience. Do not miss the 'Cube' whose videos were fantastic works of contemporary video art

A fascinating subject, the story of these dinosaurs: We loved it (grandparents and grandchildren alike). It would have been nice to let us know that every pod was running the same storyline. That would have allowed us to sit down... Apart from that minor inconvenience, it was great: The narrator's voice, the flow... The visuals. A wonderful time shared together. Warm regards

An amazing show, not only because of the performance itself—which I had already seen in other countries—but because of the setting where it takes place. Explaining Matisse through colors, supported by his artworks, felt truly beautiful to me. The venue, despite its original purpose, the time period when it was built, and the origins of the laborers, represents a real human challenge.

Super experience! First time we went to see an exhibition at the Bassins des Lumières. We were pleasantly surprised by the sound and light effects, which look and sound fantastic.

It was a fantastic experience. The facility is huge. Just right for the dinosaur show. It was my first time there and I would gladly come again. This place is worth a visit in Bordeaux

It was a unique experience for our first time at Bassins des Lumières. I liked the way serious, deeply enriching subjects were approached, narrated in this darkness that immerses you in a mysterious, captivating, and enigmatic atmosphere. I also really liked how the younger ones were engaged through your light shows, the butterflies to chase right on the floor, and the size comparisons with dinosaurs. Thank you, and keep thrilling us with these experiences.

I had already been to two previous exhibitions that I was really thrilled with. Unfortunately, this exhibition with the dinosaurs is very language-dependent—meaning that without knowledge of French, much of the information shared remains lost on you. No question, the visuals are beautiful and you might think the dinosaurs are still alive, but I didn't feel the same enthusiasm here as I did for Ocean and, two years ago, Van Gogh and Vermeer.
