Traveler reviews
Ekaterina Nurtaeva
★★★★★3 months agoWe visited the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris and absolutely loved it. It’s a truly luxurious and inspiring place where architecture, design, and art come together beautifully. The exhibitions are always thoughtfully curated and consistently impressive. We were there in the final days of the David Hockney exhibition and had to wait about 30 minutes outside to get in. It wasn’t the most pleasant experience, but it clearly showed how incredible the demand for the exhibition was. I especially love the museum shop, it’s full of unique and interesting pieces. I ended up buying a bag and some pencils, which made the visit even more memorable. If there’s a popular exhibition on, it’s best to book tickets in advance. The museum is also easy to reach and it’s very convenient to take a taxi right from the entrance on the way back. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely worth visiting every time you’re in Paris.

★★★★★a month agoI absolutely loved my time at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. The building itself is a work of art and is incredible to explore. The surrounding parks and area is also a refreshing break from the busy streets of Paris. The exhibition on at the time I visited was Calder. The wire sculptures on display were incredible and overall it was very well curated. Its definitely worth buying tickets in advance as the queues can get quite busy.
