ArchitectureDesignArtOpen until 7pmFreeRambuteau (Metro 11)

Lafayette Anticipations è la fondazione d'arte contemporanea del gruppo Galeries Lafayette, inaugurata nel 2018 in un edificio industriale del XIX secolo nel Marais, trasformato da Rem Koolhaas e OMA. Il suo elemento distintivo è una torre di vetro e acciaio alta 19 metri, composta da piattaforme espositive motorizzate che possono essere riconfigurate in 49 modi diversi. Più una kunsthalle orientata alla produzione che un museo di collezione, commissiona e presenta nuove opere tra arte contemporanea, design e moda. L'ingresso alle mostre è gratuito, e si affianca a un programma di performance, incontri, un laboratorio di produzione in loco, una libreria e il caffè-ristorante Pluto.
