The painters involved  in the presentation included Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissarro and Edgar Degas.

Equipped with a virtual reality headset, enter the hushed atmosphere of this first Impressionist exhibition - reconstructed for the  first time - and meet the painters at a time when they were young artists with an uncertain destiny.

As you stroll along, you will wander outside  the exhibition, to the places that marked the beginnings of the movement. You'll be transported to the Salon, then to the studio of painter Frédéric Bazille, where the idea for the exhibition was born; to the island of Grenouillère, where Monet and Renoir painted together; and finally to Le Havre, where Monet executed his famous painting Impression, Soleil Levant.

These escapes will shed light on the relationship between the members of  the group  and the importance of the artistic movement they were inventing.
