New "art and electricity" surveys at Musée Electropolis, from April 8 to May 4, 2025.

After being temporarily transferred to the EDF Group Foundation as part of the Dans(e) la lumière exhibition, the works in the Art and Electricity space are back at the Musée Electropolis. To mark the occasion, the Musée Electropolis is offering two new investigations aimed at 5-8 and 8-12 year-olds, to help them discover the links between the worlds of art and electricity.

Reopening of the permanent Art and Electricity area

Art and electricity, two fields that intersect and nourish each other. By presenting works in which electricity is not only a visual theme represented by artists, but also a creative tool, the museum enables visitors to understand how artists have used electricity to transform the aesthetic experience of their works. Whether through light or movement, the works in this space bear witness to the profound influence of electricity on contemporary creation. Visitors can explore how electricity becomes both an artistic subject and a means of shaping art.

Two new survey booklets

To accompany this reopening, the museum is unveiling two new fact-finding booklets that will enable visitors to better understand the links between art and electricity through the objects in the collection. These treasure hunts invite our young visitors to join the Electricity Fairy, an emblematic work by Raoul Dufy, on an adventure in which she must find lost objects hidden in the museum's collections. Armed with their investigation booklets, children will set off in search of clues in the various rooms of the museum. These clues will enable them to discover unique objects and surprising anecdotes on the theme of art and electricity, while stimulating their curiosity and imagination.

Times: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. No reservation required.
