Fondation Louis Vuitton

Quite an experience walking through this architectural marvel esp the outdoor terrace on the 4th floor. The wood trusses, material finishing and structural engineering that went into creating the glass sails is amazing. There was no exhibition on when I visited but don’t miss out on the grotto level for the water cascade and VR room. How light fills the building and the wonderful views of Paris at the top level are worth the modest price of entry.

Fantastic building from Frank Gehry. We had an exhibition from A. Calder which fitted very well in this beautiful museum. The park outside is nice and calm with two (simple) food trucks.

The Fondation Louis Vuitton is a marvelous building, and with the navette departing close to the Arc de triomphe on Avenue Friedland, also easy to navigate. And most importantly: they curate wonderful expositions. The retrospective on Gerhard Richter is a truly amazing one, covering his whole career, in a very extensive number of art works. It is surprising to really experience the multitude of styles, colour palettes and techniques Richter used. Verywarmly recommended. And do not forget to visit the open air areas as they give a bueatiful view, both on Paris and the building itself.

Visiting the Fondation Louis Vuitton is as much about experiencing Frank Gehry’s architecture as it is about the art inside. The building itself is undeniable—a complex, soaring structure that feels grand regardless of the weather. Even on a rainy day, the energy here is palpable, and the crowds are a testament to its allure. Regarding the current exhibition (featuring works by Gerhard Richter, among others), the curation is impressive. Even if the specific style of the artwork doesn't entirely align with your personal taste, the quality of the presentation and the scope of the show are objectively strong and well worth seeing. The staff throughout the museum were also notably kind and professional, managing the busy atmosphere with grace. However, there is a significant logistical issue that needs addressing. The layout for the cloakroom and the restrooms creates a chaotic bottleneck. The lines for checking coats, retrieving coats, and using the restroom all converge in the same narrow space. It became very difficult to distinguish who was queuing for what, leading to unnecessary confusion. A better system for line management or clearer signage in this specific area would greatly improve the visitor experience. Tip: Be mindful that entry times are strictly enforced, so arrive precisely on schedule. despite the cloakroom chaos, the artistic and architectural experience remains world-class.

The art and the building itself are wonderful to see! The place is huge — much bigger than I imagined — and it’s such an enjoyable space to walk around. I spent about two hours exploring and still didn’t manage to see all the paintings. I wore heels, which I quickly realized wasn’t the best idea — I’d definitely recommend wearing something more comfortable next time since the venue is quite large!
