Une Statue pour la liberté, le rêve de Bartholdi, de Paris à New York

A virtual-reality walk through the making of the Statue of Liberty, from Bartholdi’s first sketches to its arrival in New York Harbor.

With headsets on, visitors move through nearly 700 square meters of the Galerie Amont, following Bartholdi from the salon of Édouard Laboulaye to the Philadelphia world’s fair and the Gaget, Gauthier & Cie workshop, reconstructed for the first time with its hundreds of workers. The sets are painted directly in virtual space rather than rendered photorealistically.

Produced by GEDEON Experiences with BackLight, the museum and VIVE Arts, as a companion to the Bartholdi exhibition; recommended from age 13.
