Nexans supports the Museum of Modern Art of Paris

This educational tool is designed to become a scalable content platform, through its dedicated website and a programme of themed podcasts.

Commissioned by the Parisian electricity distribution company for the Pavillon de la Lumière at the 1937 World Fair, La Fée Électricité (The Electricity Fairy) was an opportunity for Raoul Dufy to give a valuable account of the incredible amibition of the epoch for technological progress and the consideration of contemporary issues.

La Fée Électricité allows visitors to the museum — including many young people and school children — to learn about the history of electricity in a fun, original and modern way. This approach also offers an awareness of the concept of progress over time.

This monumental work celebrates the invention of electricity and its allied technologies by showcasing 108 scientists and thinkers who contributed to this fabulous discovery around a power plant guarded by the gods of Olympus!

Thanks to the contribution of Nexans, the Museum of Modern Art is developing a free digital media tool for this huge fresco of more than 600m2, one of the largest modern art paintings in the world.

Nexans is proud to contribute to the design and development of an augmented reality system combined with a dedicated website.
