Current program
Egyptian Pharaohs / The Orientalists
From February 21, 2025
Step back in time and rediscover Egypt at the time of the Pharaohs, through masterpieces of Antiquity! This legendary civilisation, spanning three millennia, fascinates and captivates young and old alike.
In the 19th century, the doors of the Orient opened to Western painters attracted by the mysteries of far off lands. Orientalists like Delacroix, Gérôme and Ingres, and other major names from European expressionism, now invite you to embark on a pictorial expedition to the new, exotic and bewitching world of the Orient of our dreams.
In Bordeaux’s former submarine base, Culturespaces created a digital art center in 2020. The Bassins des Lumières, which are the largest digital arts centre in the world, presents monumental immersive digital exhibitions, dedicated to major artists in the history of art and to contemporary art.
