October 24 demonstration in Paris: Lafayette Anticipations exceptionally closed this Saturday

The demonstrations announced in Paris for Saturday, October 24, 2026 continue to disrupt the capital’s cultural calendar, following the violence and damage over the previous weekend. Several museums and exhibition venues have decided to close as a precaution. These include Lafayette Anticipations, located at 9 rue du Plâtre in Paris’s 4th arrondissement, which has confirmed that it will be exceptionally closed for the entire day on Saturday, October 24.

The closure comes just three days after the Foundation launched its new artistic programme. Visitors will therefore be unable to see the three exhibitions currently on display: Towards a Sea by Yu Nishimura, Vivresse by Hélène Fauquet and Monument by Mungo Thomson. The exhibitions, which opened on October 21, will nevertheless remain open to visitors in the coming weeks.
