What can you expect from the Arcane expo?

If you visit the Arcane exposition, you'll be immersed in a behind-the-scenes experience. From sketches to final results, you'll be able to see the process and all the art pieces behind the ones we saw on the screen. You'll be able to count on many unseen sketches.

You'll also have the opportunity to check out the ideas for the promotional posters of Season 2, the Jinx concept — both in her timeline and the multiverse from episode 7, Vander and his transformation into Warwick, art style choices, as well as other things from Season 1.

Visitors to the exhibition can try their luck until Feb. 14 to win one of five copies of Arcane's artbook called "L'art de la création." It's currently out of stock online, but offered by the city of Montpellier with the support of publisher Manabook.

If you miss the show, this is a great chance to relive some of the iconic scenes of Arcane Season 2 and the process behind one of the biggest animation series of all time. You can always rewatch the show on Netflix as well.
