Louis Vuitton Foundation

Fondation d'entreprise Louis-Vuitton

The Louis Vuitton Foundation is a contemporary art museum and cultural centre in Paris designed by Frank Gehry, opened in 2014. The two-storey building consists of a white concrete 'iceberg' of gallery volumes wrapped by overlapping curved glass 'sails' and contains multiple galleries, a 350-seat auditorium, and roof terraces for events and installations.

As it stood in 2014

What Louis Vuitton Foundation looked like in its prime.

A low, two-storey white 'iceberg' of fibre-reinforced Ductal concrete terraces is enveloped by overlapping curved glass 'sails'—thousands of uniquely curved laminated glass panels set in slender steel framing. The folded glass and stainless-steel surfaces reflect the sky; a large stainless-steel LV logo sits above the ticket booth on Avenue Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounding Jardin d'Acclimatation trees frame the building while recessed skylights and multilevel roof terraces punctuate the white gallery volumes.
