  • Launched in 2018, the “Micro-folie” system allows virtual museums to be opened anywhere in France.

  • The first local on the Côte d'Azur is due to open before the end of the year in Nice.

The Louvre museum, the Pompidou center or the Palace of Versailles without moving from Nice ... Culture by limiting travel, an idea in tune with the times, is that will offer, from the month of December (subject to 'a change linked to measures against Covid-19), the first “Micro-Madness” in the department.

Launched in 2018 by the Ministry of Culture, this system now has 80 structures spread across France and abroad but not yet in the Alpes-Maritimes.

In the Louvre or at the Paris Opera

This will soon be the case at 26, rue Saint-François-de-Paule, a stone's throw from the promenade des Anglais.

A 300 m2 room "will offer a multitude of innovative equipment", including a "space dedicated to virtual reality" with "a selection of 360 ° immersive content", details the president of the departmental council Charles-Ange Ginésy.

On the program, in particular, a "tête-à-tête with the Mona Lisa".

The Musée d'Orsay, the Quai Branly museum, the Paris Opera and the Arab World Institute will also be accessible from a distance.

This departmental structure will also include "a FabLab, that is to say, a digital manufacturing workshop open to designers, artists, students, college students, handymen wishing to develop creative projects", further specifies the elected.

And the “Micro-madness” of Nice, which will be open to visitors (and free of charge) or by scheduling group themed tours, could quickly have children.

Depending on the community, the municipalities of Grasse, Roquefort-les-Pins, Carros, Cannes, Valberg or even Vence have expressed their interest.
