It has quickly become a must-see venue for all contemporary art lovers. The Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection adorns the Les Halles district in Paris's 1st arrondissement, and hosts numerous artworks, exhibitions and events throughout the year.
This unique museum was created around the collection of François Pinault, French businessman and art collector. In agreement with the City of Paris, the aesthete chose to exhibit his extensive collection in this former wheat market, which conceals a sublime architectural design.

The works are not the only treasures of this museum: raise your head and take a look at thearchitecture. You can't help but appreciate the monumental façade, the magnificent dome housing an impressive fresco, or the double-revolution staircase.
