Alice in the Land of Illusion

Each POI has several interpretive levels : 
 
> Level 1: The public is invited to follow the wanderings of Alice: information on the
objects mix and mingle with quotes. 
 
> Level 2: Quotes from the two books " Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through
the Looking-Glass” by Lewis Carroll. 
 
> Level 3: Broader questions that expand the contents of the visit. 
"The Cheshire Cat has something to say".
