Mucha: The Endless Dream
Alfons Maria Mucha was a Czech painter, illustrator, and graphic artist who lived in Paris during the Art Nouveau period. He is best known for his distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters of Sarah Bernhardt, as well as his illustrations, advertisements, decorative panels, and designs, which became some of the best-known images of the era. This is the first time that the Mucha Foundation, in collaboration with the immersive exhibition by Grand Palais Immersif, has authorized an immersive Mucha exhibition in China. The exhibition, featuring outstanding immersive technology, transports the audience into a world of Mucha, interwoven with high-definition original images, holographic projections, and original music, making them feel as though they are in a dreamlike art hall.
