Revue virtuelle (1992–1996) was an exhibition project for early new media, virtual art technologies, computer graphics, virtual reality, hypermedia and digital art projects that was housed in the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou from1992 to 1996.[1]

It also created a virtual "magazine" jointly created by the museum and the Centre de Création Industrielle, addressing new technologies from the viewpoints of science, aesthetics, museography and education. These activities were documented in a bilingual CD-ROM, L'Actualité du Virtuel/Actualizing the Virtual, published in 1996.
