From August 1 to 24, and October 29 to November 9 between 6 and 9:30 pm discover the magnificent digital art experience at the Atelier des Lumières. Created by artists Gianafranco Iannuzzi, Renato Gatto, and Massimillano Siccardi, this digital exhibition is a must-see if you’re in Paris!

Klimt’s Nights

Gustav Klimt’s most pivotal work will be displayed in a magnificent array of lights and colors splashed on walls through digital technology. Some of the most famous elements of the Austrian painter’s masterpieces will be presented during a 30-minute light show. The project evolves around six scenes lasting five minutes each.

Klimt’s night-time exhibition goes through 100 years of Viennese paintings showcasing the works of the painter, his contemporaries and those he inspired. The immersive exhibition also includes the works that made Klimt so famous—his ‘golden period’, portraits, and landscapes.
