Mont-Saint-Michel: The historic 3D model comes to life

The famed Mont-Saint-Michel relief map—a 17th century icon of French innovation, history, and culture—comes to life for the first time in the US as an immersive mixed reality experience. 

For centuries, technology has been influencing the way people engage with the world and shape the course of history. In 17th and 18th-century France, large-scale 3D maps—painstakingly built by hand down to the most intricate details—were the most advanced mapping technology of their time.
