Paintings have their dark side, too. For Halloween, the Micro-Folie des Mureaux is taking visitors into the world of Caravaggio on Friday, October 30, 2026. Located at the media library on allée Joseph-Hémard, the digital museum is offering Caravaggio In Tenebris, a virtual reality experience for visitors aged 14 and up. The program includes an imaginary stroll through the Roman night, encountering the Italian painter’s works. The activity is free, with registration required.
To take part, you must choose one of the seven 15-minute time slots starting at 2:30 p.m., 3 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 4 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 5 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. Each session can accommodate a maximum of four people, so it’s best to plan your visit before arriving at the media library, especially if you’d like to share the experience with others. Reservations can be made with the Micro-Folie FabLab, in person or by calling 01 30 91 24 30.
But what do you discover on this immersive journey? Sunlit palaces, dark alleyways and several paintings by Caravaggio make up the experience. Created by Matthieu Van Eeckhout and co-produced by ARTE France and Atlas V, the work explores the contrasts that run through this world: wealth and poverty, faith and violence. Its run in Les Mureaux is part of a partnership between Micro-Folie and ARTE. The experience may appeal to teenagers and adults curious about art and immersive storytelling. One detail is worth bearing in mind when planning your visit: some artistic themes may be upsetting, which is why admission is restricted to those aged 14 and over.
