Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection
Website
Step into the magnificent Bourse de Commerce-Pinault Collection, where history and contemporary art converge in spectacular fashion. This architectural masterpiece, unveiled in 2021, showcases Japanese architect Tadao Ando's bold vision - a stunning concrete cylinder beneath a meticulously restored 19th-century glass dome.
As François Pinault, founder of Kering, expressed: "When encountering a work of art, I cannot define what happens: it's an intense emotion, something that seizes you, challenges you, and strikes you. I hope that others will experience the same emotion as I do when facing these works."
The museum houses an extraordinary collection of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present, including permanent installations such as Maurizio Cattelan's "Others," with its lifelike pigeons perched throughout the building, and Ryan Gander's dramatic mouse sculpture Ever After: A trilogy (I… I… I…). These contemporary pieces create a fascinating dialogue with the building's historic character, offering visitors a unique artistic journey through time.
