Phoenix des Lumières

What to expect

Phoenix des Lumières is housed in the former gas blower hall at Phoenix West, now transformed into a digital art center with 5,600 m² of projection space. Inside, you explore large-scale immersive shows that combine video, sound, and architecture in one continuous experience.

Features

Take in the Rousseau Jungle of Colors short show, which surrounds you with Henri Rousseau’s poetic and imaginative jungle scenes in a compact program.

Sit or stand within 360º video projections that cover walls, floors, and architectural details, supported by spatialised sound and an original soundtrack tailored to the exhibitions.

Use the seating available in exhibition areas to pause and absorb the changing visuals during both the Monet Master of Impressionism main show and the Rousseau Jungle of Colors short show.

Benefit from access to Phoenix des Lumières venue facilities, including wheelchair accessibility except for the stands in the main hall, accessible toilets, and lockers for medium-sized bags that are free of charge with coins provided.

Visit the bistro with hot and cold drinks and food, browse the store with souvenirs, and rely on the on-site Lost & Found service if you misplace personal items.
