Les Machines de l’île

On the site of the old shipyards, where the great ships were built, François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice have come up with a completely new artistic project. Their imaginations explore the treetops, the savannah or the seabed, and they build a bestiary of living machines that escape from the workshop. Halfway between the "invented worlds" of Jules Verne, the mechanical universe of Leonardo da Vinci and the industrial history of Nantes, discover this fascinating universe! Climb aboard the Great Elephant, visit the Galerie des Machines, observe the flight of the heron and the great spider. Let yourself be carried away by the fantastic creatures that spin around in the Carrousel of the Marine Worlds, a gigantic mechanical aquarium on three levels.
