An immersive virtual reality journey into the masterpieces of Claude Monet
Inside Monet is a new-generation immersive experience that brings one of the most beloved Impressionist masters to Genoa. Thanks to virtual reality, visitors don't just observe Claude Monet's works, but physically enter them, immersing themselves in the colors, atmospheres, and light that made the French painter famous. The venue is the Raccolte Frugone Museum, housed in Villa Grimaldi Fassio within the Nervi Parks, a natural setting of rare beauty in the east of the city.
The experience lasts about 75 minutes and takes you through five of Monet's masterpieces, including the iconic Water Lilies and the Poppy Field. Wearing the headset, participants are guided through the botanical park and museum spaces, accompanied by the voice of Monet himself, recounting the emotions, memories, and inspirations behind his works. An engaging and poetic way to connect with art.
Created by WAY Experience, a company specializing in immersive experiences, Inside Monet combines the power of VR technology with the beauty of the Nervi Parks, in a particularly evocative dialogue between art and nature: the park's own blooming gardens echo the subjects dear to Monet. In case of bad weather, the experience takes place entirely within the museum galleries.
Suitable for ages 10 and up and offered in groups of up to 25 participants, the experience includes a guided tour in Italian with VR content available in Italian, English, and French. An innovative cultural event that enriches the offerings of the Nervi museums and positions Genoa among the leading cities in immersive art experiences.
