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.”
