Overview
- Nouvel’s approach radically stripped non-structural partitions, retaining only essential load-bearing elements to expand interior space.
- The reimagined venue introduces five mobile platforms that can be set at eleven heights across 6,500 square meters to support varied curatorial needs.
- Ground-floor bay windows open the institution to the city, with Rue de Rivoli arcades linking the project to its Haussmannian context.
- The inaugural show, Exposition Générale, assembles more than 600 works by over 100 artists with scenography by Formafantasma organized into four thematic ensembles.
- Advanced booking is required, with free access to the new spaces on Saturday, October 25, and Sunday, October 26, 2025, subject to availability.
