Centre Pompidou launches first virtual exhibition on Joan Miró
During the pandemic, virtual galleries have proven to be an important resource, despite their limitations. The Centre Pompidou in Paris, one of the leading art institutions, has launched its first virtual exhibition, focusing on Joan Miró's triptych "Blue I, Blue II, Blue III," first shown in 1961 at Galerie Maeght in Paris. The virtual space, created by WAOlab, features minimalist graphics without special effects, aiming to serve as a sober, supplementary resource rather than overshadowing real-world exhibitions. The initiative legitimizes virtual galleries and may encourage emulation by other institutions. The exhibition is accessible via the Centre Pompidou website.
