Claude Monet
The Water Lily obsession
Step into Claude Monet's world with this immersive exploration of "Water lilies"!
In 1883 painter Claude Monet first rented a house in the French town of Giverny. After purchasing the property and adjoining land, the artist transformed an existing small pond into a water garden with water lilies and a Japanese-style bridge from which he could observe the water and the flowers.
From 1899 to 1926, Monet painted more than 250 scenes devoted to the water lily theme, which became what he called “an obsession.” The most famous of them being the 8 panels adorning the Orangerie Museum in Paris.
Through a dialogue between Claude Monet and his old friend, statesman George Clemenceau, this contemplative VR experience invites you on a sensory journey starting in Claude Monet’s garden, stopping along the way at the workshop of the artist and ending in the exhibition rooms of the Orangerie Museum. You relive a perpetual renewal of nature, to explore time and space while immersed in the Water Lilies paintings.
