Immerse yourself in the museum's world and explore its treasures thanks to a unique combination of interactive games, multimedia content and a 3D reconstruction of the papier-mâché factory.
A guided tour with Jeannot, the 3D character-guide
As soon as you arrive at the museum, you'll be greeted by Jeannot, a 3D character-guide inspired by images of workers at the papier-mâché factory in the 1800s. Jeannot plays the role of guide and accompanies you throughout your visit. He introduces you to the application and gives you instructions for the various games and activities. Thanks to Jeannot, you'll discover the secrets of the papier-mâché industry and immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Pont à Mousson.
Multimedia audio guide and interactive games
The "au fil du papier" application offers a multimedia audio guide to 32 points of interest (POIs) around the museum. The points of interest in the multimedia audio guide are organized by theme, and enable you to learn more about the various objects on display. Each point of interest is accompanied by an image, descriptive text and corresponding audio. Some points of interest are also linked to interactive games, allowing you to test your knowledge and have fun while discovering the world of papier-mâché.
Among the games offered in the application, you'll find :

An immersive 3D reconstruction
One of the most fascinating features of the museum's mediation application "au fil du papier" is the 3D reconstruction of the papier-mâché factory as it was when it was still in operation. This interactive reconstitution plunges you into the world of the factory, allowing you to discover how the machines worked at the time. Thanks to this reconstruction, you can observe the different stages in the manufacture of papier-mâché and understand the essential role of each machine.
As you explore the factory in 3D, Jeannot will accompany you and give you detailed information about four machines on display in the backyard:
-
The rolling mill
-
The Dutch battery
-
The grinding wheel
-
La presse
Thanks to 3D modeling and animation, you'll be able to see the machines in motion, just as they were in the 1800s. Thanks to this immersive reconstruction, you'll have a true virtual experience of the papier-mâché factory, and a better understanding of its historical importance.
