When it was inaugurated, in September 2024, it was the 499^e Micro-Folie.

Installed in the cultural space of Champilambart de Vallet, the digital museum offers a fun access to the works of the greatest national museums.

Collections presented

During the last school holidays, two collections were presented with open access.

The one on the history of Mexico and its works offered in partnership with two of the largest museums in Mexico: the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Anthropology.

The second collection told a story of sport, its legends and its representations.

“We’re like in a museum, everyone does their own visit”

The principle of Micro-Madness is:

To be like in a museum. We take the time to look, to read. Everyone does their own tour.

While the exhibition runs continuously on a large screen, tablets (around fifteen are installed for free access) allow you to go back and forth on the works presented.

The queen icon to master in order to discover and come and go is the heart.

The intuitive tool allows you to discover the sequence or zoom in on a work.

Like a cartel in a museum, a digital window also allows you to have information on “the name of the work, where it is exhibited, its dimensions”, indicates Céline Blin.

Like a guide, the digital tool, by pressing an arrow, also links to additional content. In one movement, you can return to the exhibition, see a work again, zoom back in… In short, spend as much time as you want in the exhibition.

Virtual reality headsets

The other tool of Micro-Madness is virtual reality.

Four helmets are available to the public.

These are not freely accessible.

They are accessible from 13 years old. A mediator must be present to use them.

Four mini-films of 4 to 8 minutes were available that day/

The varied program allowed you to take a 360° dive into the reconstruction of Pompeii, in Mont-Blanc or to see paintings by Claude Monet or Edouard Manet.

An area is demarcated for viewing 3D films.

Helmet on, the visitor turns in an armchair which must not move in the space.

Since the Micro-Folie de Vallet opened, the digital museum has found a public curious to have access to great works, just a stone’s throw from their homes.

Content that will be enriched

The content of the Micro-Folie du Vignoble Nantais will be enriched over time.

The collaborative tool, which provides access to playlists from collections accessible via the Micro-Folies network, must find its cruising speed.

The collection on the Impressionists must return to Vallet in November.

A collection on the Pays de la Loire is also in preparation.

“Video content may also be offered. There will be access to shows and events,” says Céline Blin, head of a team which takes the time to master the digital tool, a delocalized window open to art and the cultural world.
