Free access to the museum and its exhibitions, upon reservation
Come discover the history and architecture of the Bourse de Commerce: viewed from the outside, the Bourse de Commerce traces a perfect circle that is unique in Paris’ cityscape, a true architectural outlier. Embark on an astonishing journey through the building’s five centuries of history and architectural transformations. Discover its large, restored decors and preserved vestiges, which form a dialogue with the radical, meditative interventions of the contemporary architect Tadao Ando.
At the same time, visit the exhibition Le monde comme il va , which consists entirely of works from the Pinault Collection.
In borrowing its title from a philosophical tale by Voltaire, this show reveals the artists’ heightened awareness of the present. Two equally represented generations of artworks engage in a dialogue throughout the exhibition: those made in the 1980s and 90s, and those made starting in the 2000s. In the face of the world’s excesses and paradoxes, the turmoil of our time, and a feeling of losing our bearings, artists become prophets, visionaries, and philosophers who are at times cynical and ironic, and who are often poets and re-enchanters.
Exclusively as part of the programming for the 2024 Nuit Blanche, the Pinault Collection will screen the film Mangrovia in the Auditorium. Directed by the French multidisciplinary artist Low Jack and the Italian visual artist duo Invernomuto, this film takes place in Martinique, in the heart of the mangroves, a tropical forest lying between the earth and the sea. In this ecosystem, dancer and choreographer Rayna, a leading figure of the dancehall movement in the French Antilles, executes a movement in a loop as an allegory of a mourning process.
