From the depths of the Earth to the seabed, and up into the skies: Jules Verne will be at the heart of the new program at the Atelier des Lumières, opening on February 5, 2027. The digital arts center in the 11th arrondissement will present an immersive creation inspired by three of the writer’s best-known tales, with the aim of plunging visitors into the worlds he imagined in the 19th century.
The experience will unfold in three distinct chapters, each dedicated to a work: Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Five Weeks in a Balloon. The concept rests on three pairs of French independent illustrators, each tasked with interpreting a tale in their own style. Rather than offering a uniform adaptation, the Atelier des Lumières bets on three distinct visual directions, all anchored in the world of Jules Verne.
This choice highlights what defines his work: a love of travel, the exploration of uncharted territories, technical innovations, and an imagination nourished by the science of his era.
Housed in a former foundry, Atelier des Lumières today relies on 140 projectors and a spatialized sound system across 3,300 m² to project its digital artworks on walls and floor. The Grand Hall alone accounts for roughly 1,500 m² of projection space.
The 2027 pricing for Atelier des Lumières; that being said, for the 2026 pricing you should budget 19.50 € per adult, 17.50 € under the reduced rate, 12.50 € for children aged 3 to 11.
