La Cinémathèque Française: Méliès Museum

Take a journey from Montreuil to Hollywood with Georges Méliès. A century of research from the CNC (National Centre for Cinema and the Moving Image) has produced a museum experience to remember. This trip through the life and works of cinema's godfather features 300 rare artifacts, including machines, costumes, posters, drawings and models. Find out how the pioneering techniques in Méliès' _Le Voyage dans la Lune_ would go on to shape special effects in cinema for the next century. His cinematographic surrealism has influenced generations of auteurs, from the DIY-style of Wes Anderson, to the blockbusters of Guillermo del Toro, Peter Jackson, and Tim Burton. You can also enjoy a completely new virtual reality experience created by Ubisoft. Join Georges Méliès' camera and take a cinematographic journey through time and space. You'll take down the moon, face a snow giant, and approach an infernal cauldron during this mind-bending VR trip.
