Under The Azure is an exhibition that pays tribute to the Mediterranean Sea, to the imagination it evokes, the fear it inspires, and the ancient and contemporary myths linked to it. Under The Azure draws on the evocative power of this singular sea and the visions it inspires. In the form of a marine ballet, it recreates aquatic spaces and immerses visitors 20,000 leagues under the sea.
