Overview
- The 2 Place du Palais‑Royal site introduces about 70,000 square feet of exhibition space within a fluid interior featuring mobile platforms that can create vertical volumes up to roughly 110 feet and adjustable skylight shutters.
- The inaugural exhibition, Exposition Générale, assembles roughly 600 works by more than 100 artists from the foundation’s four‑decade collection, curated by Grazia Quaroni and Béatrice Grenier.
- Works are arranged along four thematic lines that probe architecture’s social role, the living world, cross‑disciplinary experimentation, and new ways of perceiving and representing reality.
- The show runs through August 2026 with a rotation of works slated for April, alongside a broadened public program including performances co‑produced with the Festival d’Automne and a March project by Olivier Saillard.
- New public amenities include an auditorium, bookstore and restaurant, with a 3,200‑square‑foot education space called La Manufacture scheduled to open in spring 2026.
