The Micro-Folie program is built around a Digital Museum in collaboration with twelve founding national cultural establishments (the Centre Pompidou, the Château de Versailles, the Cité de la Musique-Philharmonie de Paris, the Festival d’Avignon, the Institut du monde arabe, the Louvre, the Musée national Picasso-Paris, the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée du Quai-Branly-Jacques-Chirac, the Opéra national de Paris, the Réunion des musées nationaux – Grand Palais, Universcience and La Villette).

The latter offer the public the chance to admire works from their collections in digital format at Micro-Folies. This virtual gallery encourages curiosity, is aimed at all audiences, and is a genuine tool for artistic and cultural education : fine arts, architecture, scientific culture and live performance.

The Digital Museum lets you discover the treasures of major cultural institutions. Digitized in very high definition, the works in this gallery are easy to access and play an active role in cultural democratization. Each year, the Musée Numérique adds 3 to 4 collections, each comprising an average of 250 to 400 masterpieces. The visit is open to all, allowing visitors to follow their own navigation between the main screen and the tablet, while reading the explanatory and entertaining material designed by the museum curators.

The virtual reality area is a complementary module to the Digital Museum, enabling visitors to discover a wide range of 360° immersive content using VR headsets. Here are just a few examples : immersion in Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, an expedition to the summit of Mont Blanc or a dive into the New York punk scene !
