Fondation Cartier

The Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain — the contemporary-art institution created by the Cartier maison in 1984 — reopened in October 2025 in a luminous glass building designed by Jean Nouvel at 2 Place du Palais-Royal, directly opposite the Louvre. Vast mobile platforms let the galleries be reinvented for every exhibition.
