PROFESSIONAL EVENTS

Corporate events: the layout of the areas and the on-site technical equipment (integrated video projectors and sound system) make the Bassins des Lumières the ideal location to create an evening event that combines an immersion in art history and the presentation of your customised projections.

Tailor-made reservations for private use

The projection equipment in the Bassins des Lumières offers different visual effects and presentation styles, depending on the requirements of your event. You may choose from:

 

- Architectural lighting: sophisticated lighting highlights the venue’s architecture.

 

- The screening of current immersive digital exhibitions: offer your guests an opportunity to embark on an exceptional journey that takes them into the heart of the world of painting. Masterpieces by the great masters of the history of art are brought to life, accompanied by music, on more than 3,300 m2 of projection surface. Total duration: 50 minutes.

 

- A catalogue of still and/or animated ambiances: choose from among a selection of  ambiances related to the exhibition’s theme or other themes.

 

- Your personalised world: project a video that has been specifically created for your event onto the walls of the Bassins des Lumières  and/or Cube. Our approved service providers are at your disposal to help you to create an entirely personalised video: the creation of a synopsis, the scenography and animation of your media (photos, videos, sound, etc.), the musical soundtrack.
