It's a good idea for the curious and the passionate alike . It has to be said that the Journées du Patrimoine have something for everyone: from fashion houses to major institutions, from the craziest architecture to historic spots, there's something for everyone! And one of the highlights of this year's event is... the Bourse de Commerce.
This iconic building in the Halles district was built in 1767. Originally a wheat market, it was destroyed by fire in 1854 and converted into the Bourse de Commerce, home to the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It was inaugurated as such on September 24, 1889, during theExposition Universelle, which also saw the birth of the Eiffel Tower.
Listed as a Monument Historique, the Bourse de Commerce has now been transformed into an exhibition space, showcasing works of art from François Pinault's collection. In keeping with its history, a restaurant awaits you just beneath the dome: La Halle aux Grains.
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days 2025, under the theme of "architectural heritage", the Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection is opening its doors to the public free of charge, from 11am to 7pm. Reservations are recommended.
With family, friends or on your own, discover the history of the building and its various architectural elements dating from the 16th century to the present day, including the iron dome - one of the first in France -, the engine room, the double-revolution staircase and Tadao Ando's concrete cylinder.
Let yourself be surprised by the first exhibition, never before seen in France, devoted to Brazilian artist Lygia Pape, and the first unveilings of the " Minimal " exhibition. Enjoy also the very last days of Céleste Boursier-Mougenot's _clinamen_ installation: an aquatic and sound work installed in the Rotonde, where an 18-meter-diameter basin filled with water reflects light and sky through the dome. On its surface, white porcelain bowls, animated by a gentle current, produce soft, enchanting sounds, making this space a place conducive to reverie.
Our mediators and lecturers will accompany you as you explore the historic architecture of the site and explore the current exhibitions.
