"I have a lot of admiration for the technological achievement, and a very pleasant sensation of being immersed and almost enveloped by the images and music, creating the impression of a journey into another time and space."
About our partners
Founded in 2013, Iconem specialises in the 3D digitisation of monuments and historical sites around the world. Through cutting-edge technologies — drones and photogrammetry — it creates photorealistic digital replicas that bring threatened or inaccessible sites back to life. Its 3D models are also made available to the scientific community for analysis, conservation, and heritage restoration.
Since 2008, the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia (MUVE) has managed and showcased the artistic and cultural heritage of Venice's civic museums. A dynamic, multifaceted organisation, it goes well beyond conservation to embrace education, research, and cultural production. MUVE oversees eleven landmark museums — including the Doge's Palace, Ca' Pesaro, and Ca' Rezzonico — and holds more than 700,000 works.
Grand Palais Immersif designs and produces immersive exhibitions that combine scientific rigour, artistic creation, and technological innovation to deliver unique cultural experiences.
Founded by Grand Palais RMN, the Caisse des Dépôts as part of France 2030, and VINCI Immobilier, Grand Palais Immersif emerged from a shared ambition. Developed in Paris around its venue on Place de la Bastille, it quickly established itself as a pioneer in immersive experiences, recognised for the scientific and artistic quality of its exhibitions.
In 2024, Chargeurs Museum Studio - a leader in the design and production of cultural, museum, and immersive exhibitions - became the majority shareholder of Grand Palais Immersif alongside its founders, with the ambition of accelerating the international rollout of its exhibition catalogue through touring.
The Réunion des Musées Nationaux was created in 1895 to gather and manage the funds needed to acquire artworks intended to enrich the national collections. Today, GrandPalaisRmn works with more than thirty museums.
In 2011, GrandPalaisRmn was born from the merger of the Réunion des Musées Nationaux and the Grand Palais, forming an internationally significant cultural operator that benefits from an iconic monument and draws on the expertise and complementary activities of both institutions.
Beyond exhibitions, GrandPalaisRmn disseminates culture through its publishing activities, its network of art bookshops, and its photographic agency, France's leading agency for art images.
GrandPalaisRmn also contributes to enriching the national collections by carrying out acquisitions on behalf of the State.

Contact us-
What does Museum Studio mean by hybrid exhibition? +
A hybrid exhibition, as we conceive it, goes beyond the traditional format: it draws the visitor into a sensitive narrative designed as a journey. The theatrical scenography gives space to each part of the story and engages the visitor through digital devices and unique artifacts that pace the exhibition. Sound, light, projection, interactivity: everything works together to heighten the senses and create an enveloping experience where the visitor is no longer merely looking, but fully engaged, physically and emotionally. The goal is to fundamentally renew the relationship between audiences and the exhibition subject.
-
How do your exhibitions differ from traditional ones? +
Where a traditional exhibition presents artworks in an informative, contemplative way, our exhibitions place the visitor at the centre of a fully designed environment. The narrative is enveloping, the journey is conceived as a total experience, and the approach to artworks and scholarly content is renewed. For institutions, this translates into greater appeal and the arrival of new audiences.
-
What is the level of scientific and curatorial validation of the exhibitions? +
Here is a summary of the answer: Each exhibition is co-developed with major partner institutions — the Louvre, the Réunion des Musées Nationaux – Grand Palais, the Mucha Foundation, the Civic Museums of Venice, and the Archaeological Park of Pompeii — which act as scientific and curatorial co-authors: they validate the content, contribute to the documentary and iconographic resources, and co-curate the exhibition. Thus, Meet Mona Lisa was developed with Vincent Delieuvin, Chief Curator of 16th Century Italian Painting at the Musée du Louvre, and Eternal Mucha with the Mucha Foundation, ensuring the scientific rigour of each production.
-
Are your exhibitions suitable for all audiences? +
Yes. Our catalogue covers a broad thematic range - from classical art to pop culture, history and heritage - allowing each institution to target specific audiences or broaden their visitor base. Playground Kids is specifically designed for young audiences. Tailored mediation tools can be developed to increase the relevance of each exhibition for your local audiences.
-
What kinds of immersive devices are used in the exhibitions? +
Each exhibition deploys a combination of devices tailored to its narrative: large-format video mapping, 360° immersive projection systems, spatial sound installations, interactive interfaces, augmented reality, digital mediation tools and 3.0 technologies. Every device is integrated into the scenography and the narrative journey, serving the story and the visitor experience.
-
Can the immersive devices be adapted to our existing technical infrastructure? +
Yes. Working alongside your local teams, and through technical and curatorial meetings, we will work with you to tailor the content to your venue and its specific requirements. We can take care of the exhibition design, or it can be carried out in-house, depending on your preferences and resources.
-
Can a touring exhibition be customised for a local context? +
Yes, within reason. While the core of each exhibition (narrative, scenography, devices) is set to preserve its artistic integrity, adaptations are possible: translation and localisation of content, addition of artefacts, and integration of educational modules tailored to the regional context.
-
Which institutions has Museum Studio already worked with? +
Museum Studio and The Travelling Collection have built partnerships with leading institutions: the Louvre, the Réunion des Musées Nationaux – Grand Palais, the Mucha Foundation, the Civic Museums of Venice and the Archaeological Park of Pompeii. This network guarantees the curatorial legitimacy and scientific quality of every production.
-
Can a host institution become a creation partner? +
Yes. Museum Studio is open to co-productions with institutions whose collections or thematic expertise align with the vision of The Travelling Collection. If you have a project or a collection that would like to transform into a touring exhibition, we would be delighted to discuss it with you.
