Fondation Cartier

Conceived by Jean Nouvel, la Fondation Cartier is a glass structure that metamorphoses according to the light. In the day time, the glass renders the halls transparent, while in the night time, the glass reflects the street lamps, showing us Paris in a mirror.
In this modern space, the Cartier Foundation regularly stages the latest trends in contemporary art and architecture, design, photography and fashion. Contemporary creation is honoured and reigns over the innovative and creative spirit of the foundation.
Veritable cultural centre, the foundation also houses a library where you can loose yourself in the beauty of the rare and limited edition books. Signed examples of catalogues that accompany each exhibition, creative guides and professional albums await you on the first floor.
You must not miss the famous « Soirées Nomades », proposed every Wednesday and Thursday evening. On the program: happenings, gustative visits, performances, concerts, poetry sessions and other creative inventions. The rendezvous super trendy for promising talents.
