Reviews of Louis Vuitton Foundation
Kenneth Lai
Wonderful place to visit set near a walkable park and children's amusement park. Art exhibits are definitely worth a visit. We experienced the David Hockney collection which was great! Upper floors offer a unique view of Paris.
Bernardo Pagnoncelli
I went to the Hockney exhibition, which was great. The building is amazing, spacious, and the exhibition was extremely well curated. What is shocking is the size and number of restrooms available: 2 small ones for maybe a thousand people! One can easily spend 20-30 minutes waiting... In any case, fantastic place with excellent exhibitions
Maxim Borodin
The building itself is a masterpiece! Frank Gehry’s creations are truly genius and leave unforgettable impressions. I had the chance to visit the David Hockney exhibition — an artist I’ve admired for a long time — which made the experience destined for success. Both the building (its navigation, exhibition spaces, and rooftop terrace) and the exhibitions it hosts are a solid 10/10.
Heather Polk
LOVED it! The David Hockney exhibition was great! The cafe was tasty. The building is beautiful and I really enjoyed the outdoor rooftop patio areas. I would return for another exhibition. Line moves fast, 10-15 min wait. I would buy tickets in advance next time for timed entry.

Always an excellent experience and an architectural gem. Takes a little doing to get there, but well worth it. Every time we go the art exhibit is excellent. Generally much more French visitors as it's not as well known as the central Paris museums.
