The building will definitely impress you with its glassy modern architecture, which is thanks to the famous American architect Frank Gehry. The building was completed and subsequently opened in 2014.
But what is the purpose of this special building? It is an art museum and cultural centre sponsored by the famous Louis Vuitton company.
So you'll find temporary exhibitions of modern art from around the world that are as unique as the building itself. The building's location in Paris' 2nd largest park, the Bois de Boulogne, where you will find the tranquillity of nature, adds to its beautiful atmosphere.

How to get there
As the Foundation is part of a park, set aside at least half a day to enjoy the tranquillity of nature at the same time.
Les Sablons metro station with line 1 is within 15 minutes' walking distance.
If line 2 metro is more to your liking, take the Porte Dauphine station, which is about a 25-minute walk across the park from the foundation. Next to this station is Avenue Foch station for the C line RER trains.
Bus lines 63 and 244 stop right outside the building.
