HERITAGE DAYS: The Programme

Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September 

 

Themed guided tours 

Vodou religion and urban planning

What if cities reflected their faiths?
This visit explores how, in the Adja and Yoruba regions, Vodou beliefs have shaped the organisation of cities, places of power, and ritual spaces.
Urbanism becomes a reflection of a dialogue between the living, the ancestors, and the gods.


By reservation / flat rate €8 / duration 1h15

Public: 12 years and over

Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st at 3pm.

Visit the museum at your own pace

Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September 2025, from 2 pm to 6 pm

Single price: €6 from age 6 – Remember to bring your headphones!

Take your time to discover the museum as you wish: freely, without a guide, stopping at the objects that intrigue you most.
Explanatory texts and an audio guide accessible via QR code (in French, English, German or Spanish) will accompany you throughout the tour. For younger visitors, a game booklet is available at reception.

You can visit without a booking, but as places are limited, we strongly recommend that you book your slot in advance. As we are a private museum, we are unfortunately unable to offer free admission on that day

Virtual reality Vodou 

Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September 2025, from 2 pm to 6 pm

Flat rate: €8 / Duration: 45 minutes / Ages 12+
Immerse yourself in the heart of Vodou rituals with a virtual reality experience filmed in Benin. Comfortably seated with a VR headset, witness four spectacular ceremonies filmed in 360°:


– a Fa divination session,
– a celebration dedicated to Mami Wata, divinity of the waters,
– a ritual surrounding the warrior spirit Kokou,
– and the dance of the Zangbeto mask, guardian of the night.

 

A rare experience, simultaneously visual, auditory, and immersive, that transports you as close as possible to Vodou practices.

Booking is recommended to choose your slot.
The experience can be impressive: it is not recommended for under 12s.
