Presentation

  A bestiary of living, monumental machines at the crossroads of Jules Verne's ‘invented worlds’ and Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical universe 
 
  •   Les Machines de l'île is a completely new artistic project.
 
  •   The brainchild of François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice, it lies at the crossroads of the ‘invented worlds’ of Jules Verne, the mechanical universe of Leonardo da Vinci and the industrial history of Nantes, on the exceptional site of the former shipyards 
 

 

  •    Climb aboard the Great Elephant, visit the world of the Galerie des Machines, observe the flight of the Heron and the Great Spider, and discover the marine creatures that revolve in the Carrousel des Mondes Marins.

 

  •    Near the Galerie des Machines, download the app that provides an audio and text guide to the artistic experience.

Family rates available.
Closed in January and early February.
