Visit the Bassins des Lumières in Bordeaux and see the works of Henri Matisse and Frida Kahlo brought to life through a mesmerising combination of light and sound across four 110-meter-long water pools!

You’ll rediscover Matisse’s masterpieces in a journey of colour, from Blue Nudes to Fauvism and the vibrant hues of Luxe, Calme et Volupté, all set to a captivating soundtrack.

The immersive Frida Kahlo experience explores the Mexican artist’s life and journey from early works of self-discovery and suffering to powerful paintings expressing identity, resilience, and universal themes.

Un plan des lieux avant de pénétrer dans le site aurait été le bienvenu et m’aurait permis de ne pas rester dans la première fosse.

Merveilleux spectacle ! Tellement beau qu’il est difficile à décrire.
