Fondation Louis Vuitton

Frank Gehry's glass sailboat of a building houses Bernard Arnault's private contemporary art collection, rotating major exhibitions alongside permanent pieces by Basquiat, Kusama, and Koons. The twisted glass panels and wooden ceiling create Instagram-worthy interiors, but the real draw is seeing blue-chip contemporary art in spaces specifically designed for each piece.

You'll spend as much time gawking at the architecture as the art - those dramatic curves mean every gallery feels different. The roof terraces offer solid views over the Bois de Boulogne, though not much of central Paris. Audio guides are essential since wall text is minimal. Expect crowds around the signature installations.

The €16 entry fee stings for what's essentially a private collection, and some exhibitions feel thin. Skip the overpriced café entirely. Start on the upper floors when it's less crowded, then work down. The building is more memorable than most of the rotating shows, so don't feel guilty about rushing through galleries that don't grab you.
