Micro-Folie

Micro-Folie is part of an overall cultural project supported by the Ministry of Culture and Communication and coordinated by the Etablissement public du Parc de la Grande Halle de la Villette.

Housed in the former Palace Carnot cinema, in the heart of the city centre, this local cultural venue is centred around a digital museum and its digital art gallery, bringing together several thousand masterpieces and a host of national museums and institutions, and offering a unique cultural experience that is accessible free of charge.

Each week, discover a collection or selection of works combining all art forms: painting, dance, music, song, theatre and visual arts, projected as a slide show on the giant cinema screen. Thanks to the digital tablets, you can discover the masterpieces and their additional content at your own pace, as well as complementary works and even some mini-games to keep everyone interested!

There's also a virtual reality area and a social area. 3 virtual reality helmets are available on request (from age 13), giving access to cultural content provided by Arte. For example? Immerse yourself in works of art such as Monet's Water Lilies, a climb up Mont Blanc or a reconstruction of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii.

The programme offers a wide range of activities and events, including screenings, lectures, creative workshops and fun activities for all ages!

A programme of artistic and cultural education is also available for school groups and associations who would like to take guided tours with the Micro-Folie mediator.
