At the Louis Vuitton Foundation, LVMH's Special Days drop in on the Gustave Fayet exhibition. From October 16 to 18, 2026, admission is free and visitors will also get a behind-the-scenes look at how it was conceived.

This time, Journées Particulières trades tools for display rails. From October 16–18, 2026, the public can visit a number of LVMH Group sites free of charge as part of the 6th edition, themed At the Roots of the Dream. Featuring 46 Maisons, 69 sites and 12 countries, the program offers experiences that invite a new way of looking at heritage, craftsmanship and savoir-faire. At the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the event echoes the autumn exhibition devoted to Gustave Fayet.

The Louis Vuitton Foundation is dedicating a major, blockbuster exhibition to Gustave Fayet, a visionary collector and multi-disciplinary creator, from October 9, 2026, to March 8, 2027. [Read more]

Opened in 2014 in the Bois de Boulogne, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is devoted to modern and contemporary art and to creation in all its forms. Designed by Frank Gehry, its building with the soaring glass sails has, in just a few years, become a Parisian cultural landmark, hosting temporary exhibitions, works from the collection, commissions for artists, concerts and performances. More than 11 million visitors have been welcomed there since it opened.

For Journées Particulières 2026, the visit dovetails directly with the exhibition Gustave Fayet, Collector - Creator. Icons of Modern Art, running from October 9, 2026 to March 8, 2027. A painter, collector and patron at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Gustave Fayet brings together works by Gauguin, Van Gogh, Cézanne and Odilon Redon, while nurturing his own artistic practice. With pencils in hand, visitors are invited to try out some artist’s gestures along the route, guided by cultural mediators. The tour also reveals the making of the exhibition, from the selection of works to their final hanging.

2026 Special Open Days program at the Louis Vuitton Foundation:

  • A guided journey into the Gustave Fayet exhibition: guided tour with cultural mediators, a hands-on foray into the artist's techniques with pencil in hand, and a behind-the-scenes look at how the exhibition was conceived—from selecting the works to their placement on the walls.
  • Family workshops inspired by the world of Gustave Fayet.
  • Screening of an Arte documentary devoted to the artist, collector and patron.
  • Free admission with reservation (throughout September), via the Foundation’s website and on site, subject to availability.
