We visited the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris and absolutely loved it. It’s a truly luxurious and inspiring place where architecture, design, and art come together beautifully. The exhibitions are always thoughtfully curated and consistently impressive. We were there in the final days of the David Hockney exhibition and had to wait about 30 minutes outside to get in. It wasn’t the most pleasant experience, but it clearly showed how incredible the demand for the exhibition was. I especially love the museum shop, it’s full of unique and interesting pieces. I ended up buying a bag and some pencils, which made the visit even more memorable. If there’s a popular exhibition on, it’s best to book tickets in advance. The museum is also easy to reach and it’s very convenient to take a taxi right from the entrance on the way back. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely worth visiting every time you’re in Paris.
Quite an experience walking through this architectural marvel esp the outdoor terrace on the 4th floor. The wood trusses, material finishing and structural engineering that went into creating the glass sails is amazing. There was no exhibition on when I visited but don’t miss out on the grotto level for the water cascade and VR room. How light fills the building and the wonderful views of Paris at the top level are worth the modest price of entry.
Probably one of the most under visited museums in Paris. Foundation LV is just a gorgeous, serenely magical space. A little outside Paris city center completely accessible easily via the Metro, we were in awe the entire time. Going just to experience the Frank Gehry design is worth it enough. But we went on opening day of the Calder exhibit and it was fabulous. Brilliantly curated and beautifully executed, this museum was a highlight of our trip.
Fantastic building from Frank Gehry. We had an exhibition from A. Calder which fitted very well in this beautiful museum. The park outside is nice and calm with two (simple) food trucks.
The Fondation Louis Vuitton is a marvelous building, and with the navette departing close to the Arc de triomphe on Avenue Friedland, also easy to navigate. And most importantly: they curate wonderful expositions. The retrospective on Gerhard Richter is a truly amazing one, covering his whole career, in a very extensive number of art works. It is surprising to really experience the multitude of styles, colour palettes and techniques Richter used. Verywarmly recommended. And do not forget to visit the open air areas as they give a bueatiful view, both on Paris and the building itself.
