Paris digital art venue Atelier des Lumières is a hit, and expanding abroad
https://www.theartne...xpanding-abroad
The Atelier des Lumières, a 2,000 sq. m former foundry in the 11th arrondissement, was launched last spring with a 30-minute immersive audiovisual experience of Gustav Klimts paintings, featuring mural projections of the images set to music by Wagner, Strauss and Beethoven. With full-price tickets at 14.50, it attracted more than 1.2 million visitors from 13 April 2018 to 6 January 2019.

Rather than posing a threat to the museums that exhibit the original works of art, the multimedia experiences are intended as complementary, and target a broader audience.

I wonder if that installation could make it in the West 7th Street Corridor near the Fort Worth art museums? How many out-of-towners come to Fort Worth for the cultural experience (in addition to other attractions...)?

As for out-of-towners coming specifically FOR our cultural experience, I think it depends on what exhibitions are in the spotlight. Talking with folks at The Modern a few years back they were talking about a huge influx of out of town visitors for the Lucian Freud Portraits exhibition.

Very interesting exhibit in Paris.  It reminds me of the multi-media exhibit at the Kimbell several years ago, "Butchers, Dragons, Gods, and Skeletons.

Several of the Kimbell's permanent collection pieces came to life.  For me, it was the most memorable art experience I have ever had.

RJ, like yourself, I too thoroughly enjoyed the "Butchers, Dragons, Gods and Skeletons Exhibit".  I do remember that the Skeletons were a bit bizarre. Love the projections onto the ceilings.
