Pinault’s Museum in Paris Bourse Unveils Round Exhibition Space and Prospective 2019 Opening Date

June 27, 2017 by Marion Maneker

Vogue has the details on François Pinault’s museum in the former Paris Bourse that now has a plan and an opening date. All it lacks is programming:

  • In addition to preserving several unique features, such as the immense 1800s ironwork, the glass cupola—the world’s first such structure—and a double-helix stairway, its turn-of-the-century woodwork will be reinstated. The new museum will include 3,000 square meters of exhibition space; its five-floor layout features a 300-seat basement auditorium and a restaurant on the top floor. Ando said that he was inspired by the circular building to reinforce the idea of a “circle within a perfect circle” to create “an epicenter of art in Paris.”
