ArchitectureDesignArtOpen until 7pmFreeRambuteau (Metro 11)

Lafayette Anticipations est la fondation d'art contemporain du groupe Galeries Lafayette, ouverte en 2018 dans un bâtiment industriel du XIXe siècle du Marais transformé par Rem Koolhaas et OMA. Son élément emblématique est une tour de verre et d'acier de 19 mètres de haut, composée de plateaux d'exposition motorisés pouvant être reconfigurés selon 49 dispositions différentes. Plus kunsthalle tournée vers la production que musée de collection, elle commande et présente des œuvres inédites à la croisée de l'art contemporain, du design et de la mode. L'accès aux expositions est gratuit, dans le cadre d'une programmation qui comprend performances, rencontres, un atelier de fabrication sur place, une librairie et le café-restaurant Pluto.
