THE EXPLORA ART FESTIVAL: THE WORLD’S FIRST MUSEUM-BOAT IS COMING TO TANGIER

As part of its commitment to making culture and art accessible to all, Tanger Med Foundation supported the Explora Art Festival during its stopover in Tangier from September 20 to 29.

This major cultural event took place on board the world’s first museum-boat and extends over the docks of the host cities (Malaga, Tangier, Rabat, Marseille, Venice, and Valletta). From spring 2024 to spring 2026, the festival will sail in more than 15 countries, offering varied cultural and artistic experiences across the entire Mediterranean.

Visitors had the opportunity to participate in a multitude of artistic activities: a lively festival village throughout the day and until late in the evening, exhibition pavilions presenting works of photography and sculpture, as well as a virtual reality experience and a space dedicated to children with free access to games.

The museum boat, the main attraction of the festival, offers two innovative experiences: one immersive exhibition in collaboration with the Louvre Museum and a sound journey in the Mediterranean created by the Institute for Research and Coordination Acoustic/Music, in partnership with the Pompidou Center.
