Prepare for an epic ride through the imaginative realms of science fiction pioneer, Jules Verne! From June 11, 2025, the Horta Gallery in Brussels plays host to this immersive exhibition, featuring a thrilling blend of virtual reality, metaverse, and live experiences.
Jules Verne, the French visionary born in 1828, is renowned for his groundbreaking stories of space, air, and underwater travel. His predictions of future technologies and expeditions proved prophetic over time, with many of his novels becoming reality centuries later.
The 'Jules Verne 200' experience lasts until Autumn 2025, brought to you by Belgian company Exhibition Hub and Layers of Reality, the masterminds behind 'Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience.' As the organisers put it, "Jules Verne's significant impact on literature, cinema, and popular culture of the 19th and 20th centuries continues to inspire us today."
Over 1,500 square meters, this journey takes you deep into five of Verne's classic novels: 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth,' 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,' 'Around the World in Eighty Days,' 'Robur the Conqueror,' and 'From the Earth to the Moon.'
Get ready to dive into Verne's worlds with an immersive 25-minute film, 'The Great Digital Planisphere,' meticulously crafted to transport you to the exotic landscapes of his novels. Experience his icons as if they were impossible photojournalistic documents, and delve into his stories beyond the limits of your imagination with virtual reality and metaverse experiences.
