Experiential / Immersive Exhibition

The Oceanographic Museum’s new exhibition offers a five-step immersion in the heart of the Arctic and Antarctic. You will be able to meet the great explorers who have ventured there, the species that have adapted to these extreme environments, the people who have chosen the Great North to live there, and the researchers who are advancing science.

The “IMMERSION” room included in this 2-year exhibition is the highlight of the visit, offering 650 m2 of projection space so that the audience can experience the beauty but also the fragility of the polar worlds up close.

“POLAR MISSION” is part of the exhibition and was made in collaboration with Dreamed By Us, Kistudios, and ID Scènes, it includes our interactive design on a matte painting of 8 meters high creating an interactive playground for the audience.

The visitor is propelled into the heart of polar landscapes where he can experience 6 emblematic scenes: from the North Pole in the company of a she-bear and her cubs, the South Pole where visitors come across whales, to a wonderland that ends in the dreamlike polar aurora. A voice-over is present in each picture to remind us of the fragility of this ecosystem and the threats to these species.

It is because healthy poles are absolutely essential to the balance of the planet Earth that Prince Albert I, at the turn of the 19th century, and H.S.H. Prince Albert II, today, have made these extreme territories part of Monaco’s DNA. The Oceanographic Institute for one, the Prince Albert II Foundation for the other. This great exhibition is a new illustration.
