Rousseau
The experience
Journey into Henri Rousseau’s dreamlike world!
Let yourself be carried away by a visual and acoustic adventure, surrounded by industrial-era Paris and the lush landscapes of another world. Fly over the city in a hot-air balloon and follow the course of the Seine, then make your way through a mysterious jungle.
Here, anything is possible: carnival characters dance through the mysterious, dark forest and suddenly the hypnotic eyes of a tiger gleam from between the ferns.
Rousseau worked for many years as a customs officer, which earned him the nickname Le Douanier. He never once left his native France, yet in his imagination, he travelled everywhere. Step inside this fascinating immersive experience and let him guide you through his extraordinary world, brimming with vivid flora and fauna.
