The building is designed by Frank Gehry, one of the world's greatest living architects. It is fabulous. We were there to see the David Hockney exhibit-close to 400 pieces in all. The scope of his work is amazing. I especially liked the giant pictures he painted of a class (I presume), with a giant mirror behind them so you saw about 20 people front and back in one giant painting in different poses. HOW did he do that? The tour guide,Linda, told us great stories about the history of the park and how it originated. Also, she had the patience of Job when helping us oldsters download our information on our phones to get into the museum. The only downers were that they needed a ton more toilets (don't know if they have ever had an exhibition this large and popular). Also, I was told by staff that the gift shop would ship purchases back to the US, and then after waiting in line for 30 minutes. the cashiers told me that they would not ship items to the US.. Thank goodness the hotel we are staying in was able to get our items shipped for us, we won't talk about shipping charges.

The ticket did not get me access because they did not recognize it. You did not answer my call. I had to buy a new ticket. Basically they described your service as a scam. It was a waste of my money and in all fairness you should refund me the 41.590€

We weren't the only ones to go to the foundation entrance. You should give two meeting points at least one at the foundation entrance. So it looks like a scam

Architectural wonders at the Fondation

Fondation Louis Vuitton Tickets

Gehry's glass "sails”

Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the cloud-like structure of the Fondation, is composed of thousands of curved glass panels. These 'sails' create a sense of movement and transparency, blurring the lines between interior and exterior. Explore how natural light transforms the galleries, and photograph the interplay of glass, light, and architecture.

Fondation Louis Vuitton Tickets

The "Iceberg"

Built in 2014, the 'Iceberg' is the white, solid center of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, different from its glass sides. Picture white panels, glass windows, and big columns inside this core, a striking contrast to the transparent exterior. Inside, you can see how light and shadows play, and peek at other galleries and outside views.

Fondation Louis Vuitton Tickets

The grand hall

This is an expansive atrium at the heart of the "Iceberg" structure and connects the various gallery spaces. It's unique atmosphere is created by light filtering through the glass sails. It hosts a variety of events, including large-scale art installations, like Olafur Eliasson's immersive light shows, and performances.

The auditorium

Opened in 2014, the auditorium is a dedicated performance and event space. You can experience a diverse range of events, from concerts to film screenings, and also view site-specific art installations, such as Ellsworth Kelly's works, made specifically for the space.

Abstract paintings by Gerhard Richter

The Fondation Louis Vuitton displays Gerhard Richter's abstract paintings, a reflection of post-World War II art. The German artist's layered color and texture are often seen in 'Contemplative' or temporary exhibitions, showing how abstract art can be experienced within the building's unique spaces.

Ellsworth Kelly's Color Planes

The American artist is all about bold colors and simple shapes, designed to give you a pure visual experience. You will find special pieces withing the Fondation, made specially for the space, like 'Spectrum VIII' and 'Colored Panels.' While his paintings may feature in 'Pop' art shows, the Auditorium is where you can see how his vibrant art and the building become one.

Thomas Schütte's sculptures

Thomas Schütte's sculptures explore complex themes related to human experience and societal structures, aiming to evoke emotional responses. He uses a wide range of materials, including steel, bronze, ceramic, and even fabric, to give each piece a unique feel. His works are frequently featured in 'Expressionist' displays.

Jean-Michel Basquiat's paintings

The artist's paintings convey social commentary and personal narratives. His work, a fusion of street art influences and bold brushwork, reflects the vibrant artistic landscape of 1980s New York. Frequently exhibited in 'Pop' or 'Expressionist' displays, Basquiat's art will leave you with a lasting impression of its intense energy.

  • Temporary exhibitions require separate, online ticket purchases.
  • Reduced ticket prices are offered to individuals under 26, students, and teachers with proof of eligibility.
  • Opting for skip-the-line tickets can save you anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour, but you may still experience a short wait due to mandatory security checks.
