About
En voie d'illumination is the Jardin des Plantes' winter night walk. After dark, the garden's paths fill with giant glowing sculptures, projections and sound, built around a theme the Muséum's scientists pick each year: oceans, evolution, dinosaurs, and most recently the light that animals, plants and minerals give off themselves. It suits kids who like animals and science, and families who don't mind a cold evening outside.
