Carrières des Lumières Monet / Rousseau

Monet: Impression, rising sun
Long programme
This immersive journey focuses on the artist's innovative techniques: his love of the outdoors transformed the way he captured shades of light and changing landscapes. The famous reflections of the Seine or the cliffs of the English Channel take on a new dimension at the heart of the Carrières des Lumières.
