The Fondation Louis Vuitton, inaugurated in 2014, is located in the Jardin d'Acclimatation, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, its silhouette of glass and steel rises like a futuristic vessel amid the trees.
This private cultural space, supported by the LVMH group, aims to makemodern and contemporary art accessible to as many people as possible. It features ambitious temporary exhibitions and a permanent collection rich in works by major artists such as Gerhard Richter, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Joan Mitchell and Olafur Eliasson. The Foundation regularly collaborates with international institutions to offer original retrospectives, such as those devoted to Mark Rothko and Andy Warhol.
The Fondation Louis Vuitton places great emphasis on young visitors and families. Every weekend, creative workshops are held in a dedicated area for children, whether or not accompanied by their parents. During the school vacations, art workshops enable youngsters to discover contemporary practices in a playful way. Family outings, with game booklets and storytelling tours, are also available to explore the exhibitions in an interactive way. The peaceful, leafy setting lends itself perfectly to a Sunday outing with the kids, or a cultural stroll after a visit to the nearby Jardin d'Acclimatation.
