The Fondation Louis Vuitton, inaugurated in 2014, is an avant-garde architectural gem located in the Jardin d'Acclimatation. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the building resembles a monumental sailing ship composed of twelve large glass sails that reflect the surrounding nature. Inside, eleven exhibition galleries host world-class temporary exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, alongside a rich permanent collection commissioned by the LVMH group. The tour concludes on the spectacular panoramic terraces above, where the bold engineering of the structures combines with unprecedented views of Paris.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Does the official sixteen euro ticket also include use of the dedicated shuttle service?
Yes, tickets purchased online include the supplement for the round-trip electric shuttle service that departs from Place de l'Étoile (on the corner of Avenue de Friedland) and arrives directly in front of the museum in about 15 minutes.
How does the access to the Jardin d'Acclimatation included in the foundation's ticket work?
The Foundation's standard ticket provides free access to the pedestrian walkways and green spaces of the Jardin d'Acclimatation; however, the amusement park's individual rides and mechanical attractions require separate on-site tickets.
Can Paris Museum Pass holders enter the Fondation Louis Vuitton for free?
No, the foundation is a completely private museum institution managed by the LVMH group, and therefore is not included in the Paris Museum Pass. To access it, you must purchase a dedicated ticket online or at the ticket office.
Are there special discounts for young people, artists, or large families?
Yes, there are reduced fares of €10 for young people under 26 and €5 for art students and under 18s. There is also a convenient family fare (around €32) available for 2 adults and up to 4 children.
Are the outdoor panoramic terraces accessible even in case of rain or bad weather?
The upper terraces remain open to the public, even in variable weather or light rain. However, management reserves the right to temporarily close access to the most exposed outdoor areas in the event of snow, ice, or strong winds.
Does the museum provide wheelchair or stroller services for visitors?
Yes, at the main cloakroom at the entrance you can request the free loan of manual wheelchairs, folding chairs and lightweight strollers for the duration of your visit, upon presentation of a valid ID as a deposit.
Are digital tickets saved on my smartphone valid even if there's no mobile signal in the park?
Yes, but to avoid connection problems at the Bois de Boulogne entrance, we recommend downloading your tickets in PDF format to your phone or saving them to your digital wallet (Apple Wallet or Google Wallet) before arriving at the site.
Is it mandatory to book a specific time slot on the website or can I buy the ticket on site?
Online reservation of your time slot is highly recommended as the facility has limited capacity and day tickets sell out quickly, especially during major temporary exhibitions; purchasing at the box office does not guarantee immediate access.
