Bassins de Lumières opened its doors to the public in June. Officials originally planned to open the gallery in spring, but delayed their plans because of the coronavirus crisis. Bassins de Lumières is one of five major structures built in France during World War II, according to the gallery’s website. The other structures were built in Brest, Lorient, Saint-Nazaire, and La Rochelle.
