Our programme

At The Explorers' Cinema, scientists, adventurers and filmmakers come together to share with the widest audience the fragile beauty of marine life. In resonance with the collections of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle and the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution, this immersive programme takes audiences from the poles to the abyss, from icy landscapes to tropical waters, unveiling the Ocean's deepest mysteries.

Over the course of one extraordinary weekend, meet some of the greatest voices of ocean exploration and let the sea reveal its secrets. From Sylvia Earle to David Attenborough, from Arctic glaciers to the hidden worlds of the deep sea, embark on a cinematic journey through a unique selection of films, expeditions and inspiring encounters dedicated to the Ocean and the living world.
