Fondation Louis Vuitton

By 09:41

Last week I visited an architectural masterpiece by Frank Gehry - the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris.



The fondation is home to 11 galleries which exhibit contemporary art. My favorite was the Andy Warhol gallery with several of his self-portraits.




This piece of Jean-Michel Basquiat was stunning as well.


And more Warhol.


However, the building itself is a piece of art! From the outside it looks like a huge ship, sailing through stormy waters. On this picture you cannot see the waves unfortunately, the water was falling over the edge like a waterfall.


And this is what the building would look like without the glass shields.


Gehry has created all kinds of exiting spaces and rooms, some of the galleries didn't have a roof so the lighting was very exceptional.
The terrace provided the most beautiful view of the neighborhood.





The fondation is definitely worth a visit if you are around! Check out all details about it here.
