Private visits
The Bassins des Lumières also offers you the opportunity to welcome your guests on special and private tours, for breakfast in the morning before opening to the public, or an afterwork glass of champagne in the evening.
Tailor-made events
The projection equipment in the Bassins des Lumières offers different visual effects and presentation styles, depending on the requirements of your event. Bright signs, walls of water, Cube or full covering are all possible. In addition, our art catalog makes it easy to personalize your evening.
Current program
Egyptian Pharaohs / Ocean
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.
Live a unique sensory experience with “Ocean, An Immersion into the Underwater World” — an exclusive creation celebrating the beauty of the oceans and the richness of marine life. In this spectacular setting, underwater life comes alive on the monumental walls and shimmering reflections of the Bassins: colorful reef fish, sea turtles, majestic orcas, sharks, playful dolphins, and seals from polar regions.
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.
