About BavAR[t]
An innovative cultural mediation tool
BavAR[t] is a playful and innovative augmented reality platform that transforms the world into a virtual museum beyond traditional walls.
By gamifying art and culture through an application/game with mechanics similar to those of Pokémon Go, cultural institutions can reach a new audience, valorize their collections, interact, and communicate in a new way with the younger generation, engaging their audience interactively.
BavAR[t] offers a mobile consumer application in the form of a playful game, but also an innovative augmented reality platform for cultural actors, who can then imagine new off-site communication campaigns to increase their visibility.

- Valorize digital collections
- Reach a new audience

Game Objective:
Collect Artworks!
In BavAR[t], the player embodies an art piece hunter. The goal? To collect the maximum number of virtual artworks spotted on the map, which travel outside the walls via augmented reality. Thus, the player can capture and discover artworks from around the world in their neighborhood! A true museum beyond the walls, providing a new access to the world of art and culture.
![The BavAR[t] application allows its players to capture artworks somewhat like PokémonGO or space invaders. Geolocated, the player is invited to collect virtual artworks from museums around the world!](assets/images/game/bavart-le-musee-hors-les-murs-en-realite-augmentee.png)

📍This dragon, entirely crafted from car and motorcycle fairing parts by the artist Ezra, is currently on display in the Morlaix funicular tunnel, where the MX Arts Tour is hosting an extraordinary and unique exhibition. Built between 1902 and 1908, the Morlaix tunnel in Finistère never housed a funicular. In 2024, thanks to the artist ZAG, an artist and president of the summer street art festival, the MX Arts Tour, and the association TAKAD GRAFAÑ, the tunnel has been transformed into an extraordinary, magical, and timeless exhibition space.
Discover the Dragon in 3DCurrently
The Obsidian Dragon
Starting September 2024
