Immersive exhibitions and visits not to miss from spring to summer in France

Les expos et visites immersives à ne pas rater du printemps à l’été en France

The article from Beaux Arts Magazine highlights a selection of immersive art exhibitions and experiences across France for spring and summer 2026. Featured attractions include "Passion Japon" at Parc de la Villette in Paris, a journey through Japanese culture with Hokusai and Hiroshige projections; "L'Odyssée Céleste" at Église Saint-Eustache, a 3D light spectacle with live choral music; "Frissons" at the Musée d'Orsay, an interactive light installation by artist Adrien M responding to visitors' movements; and a Picasso immersive experience at Les Baux-de-Provence.

This roundup matters because it showcases how French cultural institutions are increasingly adopting digital and interactive technologies—such as virtual reality, 3D mapping, and lidar sensors—to transform traditional venues like churches, former industrial spaces, and museum halls into multisensory environments. These experiences aim to attract broader audiences, including families and younger visitors, by blending art, technology, and entertainment, reflecting a growing trend in the global art world toward immersive, participatory exhibitions.
