Immerse Yourself in Art: RÊVE DES LUMIÈRES Opens in Tokyo Dream Park

Television Asahi is bringing a unique digital art experience to Japan with the introduction of "RÊVE DES LUMIÈRES," a groundbreaking facility inspired by the renowned "ATELIER DES LUMIÈRES" in France.

Concept of RÊVE DES LUMIÈRES

The name "RÊVE DES LUMIÈRES" translates to "Dream of Lights," encapsulating the essence of the Tokyo Dream Park. Here, the French terms "RÊVE" meaning "dream" and "LUMIÈRES" meaning "lights" are beautifully combined. This facility is designed from the ground up to offer visitors an unparalleled art experience. With an expansive area of approximately 1,200 square meters and equipped with over 100 state-of-the-art Epson projectors and around 60 speakers, the interplay of light and sound creates an immersive environment that captivates all the senses.

In this giant space, visitors will find themselves enveloped in dynamic and moving artwork, akin to taking a shower in art. The experience promises not only to draw you into the world of various masterpieces but also to inspire and awaken your creativity. At RÊVE DES LUMIÈRES, every moment spent in this artistic oasis is a chance to connect deeply with art, encouraging everyone, irrespective of their familiarity with art, to enjoy and appreciate its beauty.
