A guided tour presents this remarkable building created by the architects Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, and Patrick and Daniel Rubin (atelier Canal) and allows you to see spaces usually inaccessible to the general public: the studios, the anechoic chamber, and a huge subterrain construction situated under the Stravinky fountain created by Niki de Saint-Phalle and Jean Tinguely. This tour offers you the opportunity to discover the history, the objectives, and the activities of the IRCAM.
