About Inside Monet

Inside Monet is the immersive experience that allows you to literally step inside Claude Monet's paintings, in the evocative setting of the Parchi di Nervi in Genoa. Wearing a virtual reality headset, the visitor embarks on a journey of about 75 minutes through five masterpieces by the Impressionist master, from the famous Water Lilies to the Poppy Field, accompanied by Monet's voice recounting emotions, memories, and inspirations. An experience that combines art, technology, and nature, set at the Museo Raccolte Frugone, amidst the gardens overlooking the sea in the east of Genoa.

Inside Monet's Paintings

Inside Monet is a new-generation immersive experience bringing one of the most beloved Impressionist masters to Genoa. Thanks to virtual reality, visitors don't just observe Claude Monet's works; they physically enter them, immersing themselves in the colours, atmospheres, and light that made the French painter famous. The venue is the Museo Raccolte Frugone, housed in Villa Grimaldi Fassio within the Parchi di Nervi, a natural setting of rare beauty in the city's eastern district.

A 75-Minute Journey

The experience lasts approximately 75 minutes and guides you through five of Monet's masterpieces, including the iconic Water Lilies and Poppy Field. By 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. It's an engaging and poetic way to connect with art.

Art, Technology, and Nature

Created by WAY Experience, a company specializing in immersive experiences, Inside Monet combines the power of VR technology with the beauty of the Parchi di Nervi, fostering 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's galleries.

An Experience for Everyone

Suitable for ages 10 and up and offered in groups of up to 25 participants, the experience includes a guide in Italian with VR content available in Italian, English, and French. It's an innovative cultural event that enriches the offerings of Nervi's museums and positions Genoa among the leading cities in immersive art experiences.
