The Louis Vuitton Foundation's exhibition offers free admission during Museums Night 2026.

The Nuit des Musées is an opportunity to visit museums in a different way, in the evening, and to rediscover collections that we know so well, thanks to a variety of original activities. Some offer special guided tours, others performances or concerts, others activities for children... But it's also an opportunity to discover places you've never been before.

Located in the Bois de Boulogne, at the end of Paris's 16th arrondissement, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is often overlooked by Parisians. And that's a shame: this architecturally atypical site is home to some real treasures.

Dedicated to cultural and artistic creation, this foundation puts the spotlight on numerous artists, be they painters, musicians, singers, dancers... A rich and varied program of artistic masterpieces awaits the curious and the passionate.

What’s on for the 2026 Night of Museums at the Fondation Louis Vuitton:

• Exposition "Calder: Dreaming in Balance"
  Saturday, May 23, 2026 — 7:00 PM ⤏ 11:00 PM
  

  On the occasion of the centenary of Alexander Calder's arrival in France and the 50th anniversary of his death, the Foundation presents the exhibition “Calder. Dreaming in Balance.”

  This show spans half a century of creation, from Calder’s late 1920s experiments and the early Cirque Calder performances that captivated Parisian avant-garde circles, to the monumental sculptures that redefined the idea of public art in the 1960s and 1970s. At the Foundation, suspended within Frank Gehry-designed spaces, his mobiles turn the exhibition into a choreography.
