Fondation Louis Vuitton

The Fondation Louis Vuitton is a private museum in Paris's Bois de Boulogne that opened in 2014 on the initiative of Bernard Arnault. Designed by Frank Gehry and known as the "Glass Cloud," the building stands out for its twelve sail-like façade elements made of steel, wood, and glass, as well as eleven galleries spread across 11,000 square meters (about 118,000 square feet). Here you'll mainly see works of modern and contemporary artists such as Gerhard Richter and Olafur Eliasson. The architectural concept makes use of special light shafts and glass roofs that refract the sunlight. In addition to the exhibitions, terraces with views over Paris and an auditorium offer further things to experience. The museum lies near the border with Neuilly-sur-Seine and is set to pass to the city in fifty years.
