The Fondation Louis Vuitton will open to the public on October 27th.

Commissioned by Bernard Arnault and designed by Frank Gehry, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is situated in Paris, on the site of the Jardin d’Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne. At the heart of the spaces, the public will be invited to discover the permanent collection made up of works belonging to the Fondation or the Arnault collection, as well as temporary exhibitions – two a year – and musical events in the auditorium.

For the opening of the Fondation Louis Vuitton on October 27th, the artistic program will be presented in three successive stages between October 2014 and July 2015. Each stage will include a temporary exhibition, a partial presentation of the permanent collection, and a series of events.

The first stage – October to December 2014 – invites the public to a ‘journey of creation’ mainly dedicated to the discovery of the building’s architecture, with an exhibition on the architecture of Frank Gehry, among others, which will be presented alongside the architect’s first major European retrospective, organized simultaneously at the Centre Pompidou.

The auditorium of the Fondation will also host several performances and musical events, including a recital by the pianist Lang Lang on October 28th, and a series of 8 retrospective concerts by Kraftwerk, the pioneering electro-acoustic group, from November 6th to 14th.

The two following stages (December 2014 and July 2015) will be announced shortly.
