The Bourse de Commerce by night: an evening of contemporary art every Friday night

Finding a moment to escape to a museum in the middle of the week can be complicated by professional obligations and everyday life. Fortunately, the Bourse de Commerce - Collection Pinault offers an evening program on Friday evenings, allowing visitors to discover its contemporary art exhibitions in a more intimate, calmer atmosphere, far removed from the usual daytime hustle and bustle.

Located in the former 18thᵉ century grain market, the Bourse de Commerce has been transformed into a contemporary art museum at the initiative of François Pinault. Japanese architect Tadao Andō orchestrated the renovation, notably introducing an imposing concrete cylinder in the center, symbolizing an alliance between historical heritage and minimalist design.

With over 6,800 m² of exhibition space and more than 10,000 works, the Bourse hosts a rich contemporary program, ranging from solo exhibitions to installations, performances, screenings and conferences.
