La Fondation Louis-Vuitton (Louis Vuitton Foundation) is an art museum and cultural center sponsored by the Group LVMH and its subsidiaries. The foundation is run as a legally separate, nonprofit venture, part of LVMH's promotion of arts and culture. Opened in 2014, the building was designed by Frank Gehry and is located in Paris' Bois de Boulogne, bordering the community Neuilly-sur-Seine.
The museum is currently between exhibitions, but is open for visitors and we head over to see the building and a brief show of its architecture and construction. We walk to the end of the Champs Élysées at the Arc de Triomphe and then follow Avenue de la Grand Armée to Porte Maillot where we enter the Bois de Boulogne forest and walk through it to the foundation.
We view a small show of the architecture and construction of the building and then proceed to the top of the building and head outside to explore the architecture ourselves.
It has been a real treat to explore the building and its history. What a fabulous display area, even without an exhibition on display at the moment!
