Pinault Collection

The Bourse de Commerce—Pinault Collection in Paris, opened in May 2021, showcases contemporary art from François Pinault‘s extensive collection within a meticulously restored historic building. Designed by Tadao Ando, the museum blends 18th-century architecture with modern elements, featuring rotating exhibitions of painting, sculpture, video and sound installations. Read more about Museums.
