Reviews Les Bassins des Lumières
“Endroit original et grandiose.Exposition magnifique qui nous « immerge » dans un univers coloré, poétique. Une découverte de grandes œuvres et de grands peintres autrement que dans un musée classique.Très belle expérience !”

“Un peu de mal à avancer sans voir où l'on met les pieds. Et la machine à photo n'a pas bien fonctionné, c'est frustrant car le concept est génial. L'expérience est belle tout de même.”
