the Virtual Reality Pavilion
Journey through Time and Space
Visitors can delve into the past and explore ancient archaeological sites through two special immersive experiences presented by Ubisoft and Art Explora.
• Age-Old Cities: A Virtual Journey from Palmyra to Mosul
• Mediterranean Wonders: Discovering the Golden Age of Alexandria, Athens, and Venice
In addition to these experiences created in collaboration with Ubisoft, there are four other virtual reality experiences that shed light on contemporary themes related to the Mediterranean region, such as exile, migrations, and heritage.
THE CENTRAL PAVILION
UNDER THE AZURE SKY
The exhibition Under the Azure Sky is conceived around the Mediterranean, the imagery it evokes, the fear it inspires, and the ancient and contemporary myths associated with it. The exhibition brings together around twenty international artists, both historical and contemporary, who share a common experience of finding immense inspiration in the Mediterranean.
