Commissioned by Bernard Arnault, American architect Frank Gehry designed la Fondation Louis Vuitton. It is erected at the outer edge of the Bois de Boulogne in the Jardin d’Acclimatation. With its architectural curves, lines and transparency, this building is a fine showcase for contemporary art.
Fondation Louis Vuitton presents a yearlong international program of events, embracing history and the diversity of linguistic and artistic creations achieved in the 20th and 21st centuries. Works from the collection, in addition to themed exhibitions or studies and multi-discipline events will be at the forefront of the Foundation’s offerings.
Do remember they can't cancel the Spring
In spring 2025, from April 9 to August 31, the Foundation invites David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of the XXᵉ and XXIᵉ centuries, to take over all its exhibition spaces. This exceptional presentation of over 400 works from 1955 to 2025 brings together, in addition to a major collection from the artist's studio and his foundation, loans from international, institutional and private collections. The exhibition will feature works in a wide variety of techniques - oil and acrylic paintings, ink, pencil and charcoal drawings, as well as digital works (photographic, computer, iPhone and iPad drawings) and video installations.

The premium ticket works! We could go in to the museum without lining up while there was such a long line for the other types of tickets. My son really enjoyed the rides at Jardín d’Acclimatation (the admission came with the tickets but you have to buy the tickets for the rides separately) as well.
