Institut Giacometti

The Institut Giacometti is the place of reference dedicated to the famous Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966). It is dedicated to exhibitions, research and teaching.

The 300 m2 Institut Giacometti is located in the Montparnasse district, where Giacometti lived and worked throughout his career. It is housed in the former studio of artist-decorator Paul Follot, a listed Art Deco mansion whose decor has been preserved, restored and refurbished.

The artist's studio has been permanently reinstalled, with all its original elements (painted walls, sculptures, tools, personal objects), and temporary exhibitions bring Giacometti's work into dialogue with that of other artists, or explore particular themes in his oeuvre.

A library of books on modern art is also freely accessible, and educational and cultural activities are offered at the Giacometti Lab, located next to the Institut Giacometti.
Tickets available on site or online.
