The Fondation Louis Vuitton is Frank Gehry's glass galleon moored in the Bois de Boulogne — a spectacular, billowing structure of curved glass 'sails' that is itself the main event, before you even reach the art inside. Commissioned by Bernard Arnault for LVMH and opened in 2014, it hosts blockbuster contemporary and modern exhibitions that are consistently among the most ambitious in the city.
Go for the building, the rooftop terraces, and whatever major show is on — and combine it with a walk in the Bois. One of the great pieces of 21st-century Paris architecture.
