French Museum Leverages Tezos Blockchain to Offer Patrons Digital NFT Souvenirs
Fusing art and technology, the Musée d’Orsay, in partnership with the Tezos Foundation, is launching digital NFT souvenirs for its upcoming exhibition, “Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise: The Final Months.” KERU crafted these unique digital collectibles, including a representation of Van Gogh’s final palette, and you can also share them via augmented reality on mobile devices. Christophe Leribault, president of the Musées d’Orsay and de l’Orangerie, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, stating. The Musée d’Orsay’s collaboration with the Tezos Foundation extends beyond digital collectibles. It includes web3 education and outreach to foster a deeper understanding of blockchain technology and its applications in the art world. This initiative aligns with the museum’s broader commitment to embracing digital art and sustainability. Meanwhile, the Centre Pompidou is reportedly still showcasing its first collection of NFTs until February 2024. The exhibition features 18 digital works, including iconic NFT collectibles like CryptoPunks and Bored Apes. The exhibition aims to elevate NFTs to the same level as traditional fine art while contextualizing their contemporary popularity within the broader discourse of art and digital media.
