Lille Palace of Fine Arts

Hello Mister Palais des Beaux-Arts
3 days, we said 3 days !
During 3 days, this beautiful museum of international influence will be our playground. Museomixers from all around the world, of all ages, members of Museomix Nord, museum staff will be invited to question and experiment together the situation of digital and collaborative creation, a central topic for the museum since many years.

This well-known museum has just been awarded, side by side with the not-so-far Louvre Lens, the “Osez le Musée” grand prize from the Culture and Communication Ministry! That was a true acknowledgement of the values defended of the Palais des Beaux arts, especially innovation and accessibility
