On the 20th of September will a permanent exhibition open on Reunion to showcase, loosely translated ‘Reunion – Nature in harmony with Mankind’.
The exhibition will offer nothing short of a virtual journey across the island, showing off the mountains, the valleys, the gorges and lakes and the waterfalls rushing down rock faces at times several thousand feet high.
Turned into an interactive exhibition will visitors to the exhibition enjoy 3D sights, apart from the more conventional MultiMedia and DVD shows and of course pictures taken by some of Reunion’s finest photographers.
The exhibition will be open on Monday to Saturday from 08.30 hrs until 12.30 hrs and again from 13.30 hrs until 17.00 hrs, but is closed on Sundays and Public Holidays.
The location of the exhibition was given as National Park House, 258, rue de la République, 97431 La Plaine-des-Palmistes. Find more destination information about Reunion via www.reunion.fr
