Fondation Cartier to Open Massive Paris Space in 2025

As a seasoned gamer of both the digital and real-world art scenes, I eagerly anticipate the unveiling of Fondation Cartier‘s new Paris location in 2025. Having traversed countless virtual galleries, I can only imagine the immersive experience that a physical space like this will provide. The fusion of historic charm with modern design under Jean Nouvel’s expert hand is a tantalizing prospect, not unlike a rare loot drop in my favorite MMORPG.


Foundation Cartier is preparing to reveal its fresh Parisian address next to the Louvre in 2025, with renowned architect Jean Nouvel overseeing the renovation of a grand Haussmannian building. Currently known for its glass-and-steel headquarters on Boulevard Raspail, this 19th-century property previously served as a luxury hotel and later an antiques gallery. The upcoming venue boasts approximately 21,000 square feet of exhibition space, seamlessly merging historic elegance with contemporary style. Notable features include movable platforms that provide flexible layouts, empowering artists to tailor their exhibitions according to their creative visions.

In honor of its 40th anniversary, Fondation Cartier remains at the forefront of modern art, consistently challenging expectations. Renowned for featuring artists like Sarah Sze, Ron Mueck, and Matthew Barney, this foundation is admired for supporting both established and up-and-coming talents. A fresh podcast series, ‘Voir venir, Venir voir,’ offers an in-depth exploration of the foundation’s rich past, which dates back to Jouy-en-Josas in 1984 and transitioned to Paris a decade later.
