Compared to large museums, the art exhibition located in a quarry near Alres in southern France remains relatively unknown. This unique exhibition combines light and shadow technology to recreate masterpieces by renowned artists. Now in its sixth consecutive year, this year’s theme focuses on three masters from the Renaissance period.
According to the official website, this year’s theme at the Southern France Art Cavern“The Wonderful World of Bosch, Bruegel, and Arcimboldo”will showcase works by three great masters of art who were active in the Netherlands and Italy around the 14th to 15th centuries. The entire exhibition lasts about 30 minutes, with these significant paintings displayed across a 7,000-square-meter quarry space — an unprecedented visual experience, especially within such a unique setting.

The music at the venue is also noteworthy. In addition to well-known classical pieces such as Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Carmina Burana, there are also several familiar modern tracks, including songs by the British rock band Led Zeppelin.
This type of art exhibition, in the past, was something only those in related fields would spend time studying. The average museum-goer often just skimmed through the exhibits, taking selfies without much else to engage them. But this new approach has broken through the walls of knowledge, and the clever use of space successfully presents two-dimensional artworks in a completely different way. Over the past few editions, many visitors have said it was worth every penny.
Exhibition dates: March 4, 2017 – January 7, 2018
