The organization behind this ambitious venture is Culturespaces, a company which manages monuments, museums, and art centres whilst promoting access to the arts and cultural heritage for disadvantaged children. It currently operates 12 facilities, including for the Musée Jacquemart-André and the Musée Maillol, which cumulatively attract two million visitors each year. It is hoped that L’Atelier des Lumières will increase this number by a further 400,000.

Their newest Parisian project will replicate the concept of the Carrières de Lumières in the village of Baux-de-Provence. Since opening five years ago, this attraction has displayed the works of Gauguin, Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, Chagall, Klimt, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael in a similar format.

Once open, it will show two exhibitions per year. The first is to feature a major name from art history and a second, shorter exhibition will showcase the work of a contemporary artist. It’s really inspired place to visit and see all the art exposed.
